US Cellular Fixed Wireless
March 17, 2026 We have been with us cellular for years, the service is like a roller coaster ride, up and down. We are very rural, not a lot of choices. A company recently ran fiber through our county. Prices are currently higher than what we now have. We're waiting to see reviews from neighbors and friends before making any changes.

October 09, 2023 Overall the pricing and speed is relatively okay for the area I live in. However, there is randomly occurring frequent drops, which may sometimes make it difficult to work on projects. Other than that my family is grateful to have a fast and fair priced option living in a more secluded area.
