They’re actually upgrading the Fixed Wireless network to 5G already as we speak. All customers will be upgraded to 100/20 capability and the wholesale price will match other technologies. This means those on 75/10 will receive this automatically, and for free. From mid-2024, 90% of customers will be upgraded to 200-250/20 capability, with the same wholesale price as the 100/20 offering. This aligns with the speed tier upgrades in the OP. They will also start offering a Superfast tier at 400/20-40 to 80% of customers. Part of the upgrades include ensuring peak throughput, and doubling the range of each tower to enable new connections to a bunch of satellite customers.
