You can call us at 888-221-6704 to get an electronic site survey done. We will let you know if we can provide service to your address.
No, but we understand why you ask. Many of the Internet radio receivers look like a small satellite dish, but instead of receiving a signal from outer space, it is receiving a signal from a CG Comm. Tower that is usually less than 6 miles to your address.
We offer fixed wireless Internet to your home or business. A radio receiver is installed on your home or business to receive Internet service. You’ll have access to a LAN (Local Area Network) port where you can plug in your computer or your router. (Routers are sold separately.)
Yes, it is fast! We utilize state-of-the-art equipment, and emerging technologies on our wired (Fiber) and wireless (AirFiber) network, and it provides low latency connections to the Internet. Oftentimes, our connections are faster than Satellite, Cable and DSL. (based on ping latency)
No, smaller Towers with lower bandwidth requirements do not need the highest capacity hardware. If a tower requires a higher capacity, we may utilize airFiber or alternative solutions to surpass the bandwidth demands.
Yes, we provide low latency connections and you should be able to play most modern games on our service. Please Note: If you are using non-line-of-sight equipment, such as 900 MHz Internet radios, your latency will be higher, and real-time FPS and RTS games may lag depending on the path to the hosted game server.
You will not be able to host a game or run the application on a shared residential connection.
We offer unlimited data plans to all of our residential and business packages at this time. We do not charge you for data utilization. At this time, there are no overages for data usage.
We implement and enforce Fair Use, Excessive Use and Acceptable Use Policies used by nearly all Internet Service Providers. Basically, don’t break the laws, CG Comm. rules, or cause a disruption in service, and you’ll be fine.
CG reserves the right to: throttle/limit bandwidth, close or open ports, terminate applications/protocols, implement gateway security/hardware on, including but not limited to, peer to peer networks (PtP), FTP, IM, POP 3, IMAP, SMTP applications and/or protocols at the discretion of CG, in order to maintain a safe, secure, and reliable network for all customers.
Our service is Best Effort. Due to the nature of unforeseen events such as solar storms, electromagnetic interference, rain fade, power issues, etc. that can disrupt wireless services or speeds, we do not guarantee uptime or speeds on a residential agreement. We do not provide an SLA (Service Level Agreement) with our shared residential services. We recommend all users, especially those that work from home, have a contingency (backup) plan such as using a hot spot or driving to a location with wired Internet services.
