Closing the Gap: Expanding Rural Broadband Access
Access to high-speed internet is essential in today’s world, yet many rural communities lack broadband access. According to FCC data, only 44% of U.S. residents have access to fiber networks, leaving millions without a fast, reliable connection.
Stimulus Broadband is bridging this gap.
We specialize in delivering high-speed internet to rural and underserved areas, bringing connectivity where traditional providers won’t go. Our fixed wireless technology ensures faster speeds, lower latency, and greater reliability than satellite or DSL.
Types of Internet & How They Affect Your Speed
Not all internet connections are created equal. Here’s how different technologies compare:
Fixed Wireless Internet (Best for Rural Areas)
High-speed internet via radio signals from a local tower. Fast, reliable, and no data caps—great for rural homes and businesses.
Fiber-Optic Internet (Fastest Option, Limited Availability)
Uses glass fiber-optic cables to transmit data. Ultra-fast and reliable but limited availability in rural areas.
Cable Internet (Fast, but Shared Bandwidth)
Uses coaxial cables for internet. Good speeds but can slow down during peak hours.
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) (Widely Available, Slower Speeds)
Runs on telephone lines. More widely available but less reliable for heavy users.
Cellular Home Internet (Mobile-Based, but Limited by Data Caps)
Uses 4G/5G networks. Convenient but data caps and throttling may limit use.
Satellite Internet (Available Everywhere, but High Latency)
Internet signals are transmitted to and from orbiting satellites. Slow speeds, high latency, and affected by weather.
Why Fixed Wireless?
- Faster than DSL & Satellite – Delivers high-speed, low-latency performance.
- More reliable in rural areas – No reliance on fiber or cable infrastructure.
- No data caps – Stream, game, and work without restrictions.

Fixed Wireless vs. Satellite Internet: Which Is Right for You?
One of the most common questions we receive is how fixed wireless compares to satellite internet. While both provide wireless connectivity, they operate very differently.
Fixed Wireless Internet: Fast, Local, and Reliable
- Faster speeds – No lag or buffering
- Low latency – Great for gaming & video calls
- Reliable connection – Unaffected by storms
Satellite Internet: Slower, with Higher Latency
Satellite internet relies on signals sent up to 24,000 miles away to orbiting satellites. This leads to:
- Higher latency – Slower response times for gaming & video calls
- Weather disruptions – Signal can be affected by storms
- Data caps & throttling – Limited usage before slowdowns
Why Choose Fixed Wireless?
- No data caps – Stream, work, and game without limits
- Lower latency – Perfect for video calls & online gaming
- Less impact from weather – Signals don’t travel through the atmosphere
- Local customer support – Real people available when you need help
