The Basics
We buy in bulk and insulate 5NINES from the masses of pesky retail customers (you). By operating on an “ultra-lean” business model (online credit-card sales only, limited hours of phone support, no wiring needed) we can offer you residential, medium-speed, net-neutral Internet access at an amazingly low price, if your home has good reception.
WiFiMadison.com was founded as a response to the rapacious pricing of existing, monopoly Internet providers. WiFiMadison.com does not believe it is appropriate that families should have to pay $100+/mo just to participate in the global Internet from the comfort of their own homes. Combined with the looming threats to Net Neutrality, it was clear that the time was right to leverage 5NINES expertise and existing investment in local infrastructure to give local households affordable, Net-Neutral access to the Internet.

So what's the catch?
Fixed-wireless is a “best-effort” service: like your cellphone, coverage is what it is. Our coverage map shows where reception is predicted to be good and where it’s likely to be bad. And if your residence turns out have poor reception despite the prediction, WiFiMadison will refund your membership within the first month.
2) You need to buy a new WiFi router. Fixed-wireless services utilize a “dual-radio modem-router”: a small box that contains a standard WiFi router which also talks to 5NINES’ base-stations. Buying your router is your “membership fee”: each new customer pays for their end of the 4G fixed-wireless connection; 5NINES has already invested in their half, plus the connection to multiple “fat-pipes” to the Internet.
So just what is "medium speed Internet service"?
So while 25 meg True Broadband may be necessary for Virtual Reality apps or online real-time gaming, the typical household watching one or two video streams, doing emails, browsing some websites, and posting to Facebook can live quite comfortably on a diet of 10-20 Mbps. Which is precisely what 5NINES Wi5 Connect service is designed to deliver, at a price that will make your budget happy.
What about my Cable TV?
Cut the Cable Cord
Cable TV is an expensive, limiting, old-fashioned way to watch the movies and shows you want. Maximize your savings by dumping that expensive “Cable/Phone/Internet bundle”: you probably already have a cellphone and there’s lots of ways to watch any movie or show you want without Cable TV.
WiFiMadison can promise you a better relationship with entertainment. We provide fast, reliable internet service that makes streaming a dream. You can finally dump cable! Enjoy a life where you save money and binge watch whatever you want at your leisure. All you need is WiFiMadison.com internet, a streaming box, and a streaming service. Or just buy an inexpensive antenna and receive local, over-the-air broadcasts.
Not sure where to start? Don’t worry we have listed a number of devices and services for you to look at.
