Not with wireless. That depends on geography, interference, temporary usage peaks etc. Much more variable, limited and costly than a "static" line.


Wireless is pretty cheap compared to wired, because you don’t need the wires and laying the wires is the expensive part.

If you can’t give people 25Mbit connections with your wireless technology, don’t sell them 25MBit connections.
