How 5G Is Giving Satellite Internet a Run for Its Money

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) is emerging as a direct competitor to satellite internet providers like Starlink, especially in rural and suburban areas. They dive into the numbers: with average speeds now exceeding 100 Mbps in some markets and costs dropping below $50 per month, 5G FWA is challenging the value proposition of satellite broadband. The conversation looks at real-world deployments from T-Mobile and Verizon, examines the technical advantages of 5G over satellite latency, and asks whether fiber-to-the-home still makes sense in areas where 5G coverage is expanding. They also discuss the implications for the broadband market and the consumer's bottom line as of May 2026. #5GFWA #FixedWirelessAccess #SatelliteInternet #Starlink #TMobile #Verizon #RuralBroadband #BroadbandCompetition #5GLatency #DigitalDivide #MillimeterWave #MidBandSpectrum #InternetCost #BroadbandSpeed #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #5GPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
