"You're really beholden to that device," Hanich said. "If something happens to it, you've essentially lost your internet access."
"They have been extremely successful in a very short period of time," Hanich said in reference to fixed wireless networks.
Still, customers are usually "highly satisfied" with their fixed wireless plans so far, according to Hanich.
