Cruzio Internet

Cruzio is an independent Internet Service Provider in California. It offers fixed wireless and fiber internet service for home or business, enterprise internet with no data caps, and Campus Wi-Fi. Cruzio is somewhat unique in that it also offers coworking office space and workstations as well as meeting spaces for teams.

Fixed wireless internet is a popular broadband service that uses radio waves to send and receive signals. The service uses broadcast towers that are affixed to stationary objects, such as poles, buildings, or towers, to create a wireless network. The internet is sent from the main access point, which is typically supplied with high-speed fiber-optic lines, to individual receivers installed at businesses, campuses and homes.

Fixed wireless refers to wireless devices or systems that operate in fixed locations, such as homes and offices. Fixed wireless devices usually get their electrical power from the utility mains, unlike mobile wireless or portable wireless which tend to be battery-powered.

Fixed wireless internet can be a high-speed, reliable option. It can be used for gaming, streaming, video conferencing, email, and web browsing. To work, the receiver needs to be set up no more than 10-11 miles from the IPS’s tower. You might need actual line-of-sight access between your home and the ground station. Topography like hills or trees can, depending how dense or large these obstructions are, prevent an installation. Weather conditions like rain or fog can impact service so if you live in a wet, foggy location, ask your neighbors if they used fixed wireless and listen to their feedback. In some locations fog “burns off” after early morning hours but in others it can come at all hours. In simple terms water is denser than air so the signal passing through very humid, wet air, can be reduced.

Fixed wireless is generally less expensive, faster, and more reliable than mobile wireless connections but it works just at your location and isn’t portable. Fixed wireless also offers a point-to-point connection, which keeps latency low. By contrast, mobile wireless has a much higher latency because it prioritizes portability over speed.

Fiber optic internet is a broadband connection that uses fiber-optic cables to deliver internet service along light waves. It can transmit data up to 70% of the speed of light. Speeds can reach up to 940 Megabits per second (Mbps). Fiber optic internet is about 20 times faster than regular cable at 1 Gbps.

Fiber optic internet uses a network of bundled tiny glass fibers to deliver internet service. Data travels through the fibers as beams of light pulsed in a pattern. Fiber optic internet relies on light instead of electricity to transmit data, which facilitates much faster Internet connections that are capable of handling higher bandwidth.
Fiber optic internet is different from traditional cable internet, which transmits information by sending electricity over copper wires. The cables for fiber are thinner and lighter than copper cables so they can be damaged more easily by improper digging, wildlife, chemicals and even radiation. Fiber optic internet is very fast, and can test at 117 percent of the advertised speeds even when demand is highest.

Cruzio plans don’t have data caps or require a contract. There are no hidden fees. These are three reasons customers are happy with Cruzio but there’s more. The monthly pricing on plans isn’t an incentivized rate for a period after which your bill could skyrocket as is the case with some traditional cable companies.

Cruzio has a sensible menu of plans and pricing. A standard fixed wireless plan is about $75 per month. Student internet can be as low as $15/mo. Reach out to Cruzio directly with your address to see what your options are.
