Metro Wireless

Throwback Thursday!

Remember the days when a 56K dial up modem would knock your socks off?!

We love looking back at older technology and reflecting on how much impact it had. While slow, dial up internet did enable a lot of commercial connectivity across the nation!

Oh, and we still offer dedicated fax lines, for those customers who demand it! ;)

We at Metro Wireless often get asked about our thoughts on Starlink - after all, it's certainly getting a lot of buzz!

Our take: we think it's a great technology and one that will help fill in coverage gaps where even a fixed-wireless or cellular connection will not reach.

However, in situations where alternatives exist, Starlink may not pose the best commercial solution due to its data caps, reliability issues (Starlink has no SLA), volatile latency, ever-increasing pricing, and limited user support.

For clients without an alternative, we wholly recommend it, but for all others, we'd ask our partners and clients to take deeper consideration.

Want a fiber-like internet experience delivered at affordable coax broadband pricing?

Try our asymmetrical fixed wireless internet, MetroBURST!

This affordable option delivers ultra-low latency performance with download speeds up to 200Mbps, and of course, comes with our 99.99% SLA!

Pricing typically falls below $250/mo, and is available throughout Metro Detroit. It's never been more affordable to service a primary connection or add a backup!

Did you or your Michigan-based client have an internet outage last week due to the ice storms? If so, Metro Wireless is here to help!

Not a single Metro Wireless customer experienced an outage last week, and we lend that success to our wireless delivery methods, Fixed Wireless and Cellular, which isn't impacted by downed fiber or coax lines.

Contact us today to quote wireless internet, for primary or backup.

Here at Metro Wireless, we might have stumbled onto a new tradition, a crawfish boil lunch for all to enjoy!

Our resident cook (and Senior Install Manager!), Rod Knutson, boiled those little guys up like nobody's business! We had it all: liberally spiced crawfish, potatoes, sausage, and corn.

Everyone had a great time and we can't wait for our next crawfish boil. It was a great way to bring everyone together to break bread..err..crawfish!

🎄Merry Metro! What a blast we has this year at the Metro Wireless annual Christmas party. The night was filled with great friends, libations, food, and some killer Bocce. Boy, if this Internet service thing doesn't work out we could probably start a pro Bocce team, just saying! :)

We want to wish you all a very merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, and a joyous holiday season. Thank you for being a part of the Metro Wireless family!

Thank you for being such a great partner Utel USA, we were so happy to sponsor your holiday party! Metro had a blast with the Roaring '20s theme. Everyone looked amazing in their twenties-style attire. Thank you to all who made it a night to remember!

'Tis the season for giving, and we love it when our staff takes time to give back. This time, we have our Director of Business Development, Mike Chutorash, volunteering for a food drive with the local rotary club. We appreciate and encourage our team to find time to give back to causes they care about! Thanks, Mike!

We had another BIG install recently! This project involved upgrading an island-based client from an unreliable 500Mbps connection to a >1.8Gbps symmetrical connection at a distance of >25 miles! This service will power the local university, schools, and community library!

Anywhere, anyhow, Metro Wireless is happy to help with any need!

During this time of Thanksgiving, all of us at Metro Wireless are thankful for the opportunity to serve our valued Channel Partners, Agents, and Customers.

Over the last many years, delivering crafted wireless solutions has been our passion, and it is because of you that we are successful.

Appreciation for these blessings and all those we have inside the office and outside is so crucial. We will never lose sight of what is important.

We wish all of you and your families a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Canada's widespread network outage was a sobering reminder of why it's critical to utilize backup internet connections from diverse carriers.

Users should be asking themselves questions like what happens to my business when there is an internet outage? How much lost revenue and productivity occur during an outage? What key systems like point-of-sale (POS), security alarms, cloud ERPs, VoIP phones, and UCaaS software rely on the internet?

Work with Metro Wireless for a backup solution that keeps you running when major networks are down.
