We offer “up-to” speeds. If you are paying for the Residential 5 package, you will get as close to 5Mbps as possible. If you have Non-Line-of-Sight equipment because you have trees and obstructions between you and the tower, your speeds could be lower. If you have clear line-of-sight to the tower, you should get the maximum speed. When running a speed test, your results will be measured in Mbps. When downloading files you will see your speed measured in bytes (MB/s), not bits (Mbps).

You can run a speed test here. Your household shares the bandwidth, so do a speed test when all other computers and devices are turned off.

Computers that are infected with viruses, spyware, malware, or have not been taken in for a routine check-up are the leading cause of your Internet being slow. At a very minimum for computers that are connected to the Internet, SS Wireless recommends virus protection to be running and up-to-date. If you do not currently have an anti-virus program running, we recommend downloading and installing a free program, such as Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG Anti-Virus. Another quick (and free) way to boost your speed is to use a different browser, such as Firefox or Google Chrome.

You can change your package at any time, simply call or email Customer Support. Changing your package does not require an equipment change under most circumstances and can be done quickly over the phone or through email.

A router is necessary to connect any wireless laptops or PCs. Our service is wireless from our tower to the radio that we install on your home. The router allows you to connect as many computers to our service as you would like.

Call Support to schedule a paid service visit to remount your outside equipment.

The email program you use is based on personal preference. For some users, our webmail (http://mail.sswireless.net) is powerful enough. For others, they need the plug-ins and power of a program like Outlook or Thunderbird. Many operating systems have an email program included. To learn how to set up your sswmail.net email account, check out our instructional page.

You can read the full policy here. While our Internet plans allow you to download an unlimited amount of data, there are laws against downloading certain things, including copyright-infringed works. When we get a DMCA complaint linked to your account, we are required by law to notify you. The first 2 “strikes” are free, and then it’s $10 per DMCA complaint up to 12, which is when we have to ask you to find another ISP.

We love it when you love the service enough to tell your friends and neighbors. We offer a referral credit of $20 for each person you sign up.  There is no limit to how many referral credits you can get!

Yes, you can have your whole house wired to work with VoIP phone service, but you will need to make one important change at your house. Failure to implement this change may result in damage to your equipment, which is replaced at your expense. The following instructions are found on our Phone Setup Guide. On the outside of your house where the phone company line comes into your house, there is a box. If you open the box on the customer access side, there is usually a phone jack with a phone cord plugged into it. You will need to unplug the phone cord and tuck it away from the jack and close the box back up. That will disconnect your house from the phone company line. Then when you hook up the box into any jack in the house, the whole house will be setup for phone service.

Dial 5001 from your home phone. Enter your PIN. If you do not know your PIN, please contact info@straightshotwireless.com.

No, it does not work with fax. Security systems which use traditional land-lines will not work with SS Wireless’ VoIP Phone service. There are security systems which use the Internet instead, and those are compatible with SS Wireless’ VoIP Phone service, since they do not require a land-line phone connection.

Yes, you can make international calls.

Yes, contact info@straightshotwireless.com and they can change this setting for you.

It’s not normal, but it can happen. Contact info@straightshotwireless.com to see if they can fix the issue.

Your call quality should be good. If it’s not, then we will try to fix it for you. Contact info@straightshotwireless.com for help.

Sure. There is no contract length for SS Wireless’ phone service. Contact info@straightshotwireless.com to cancel. Be sure to return the VoIP adapter to SS Wireless.

No. SS Wireless Internet is wireless and does not require a phone line or cable connection.

We mount a radio on the outside of your home and point it to a nearby SS Wireless tower. The tower and the radio securely send and receive your Internet content. Wireless radio (CPE) installed on the outside of the home. From the outside radio, we run a cable into your home and install a wireless router. This allows you to connect your wired and wireless devices to the Internet, so everyone in your home can get online. We also secure (encrypt) the wireless router so others can’t “steal” your Internet.

Yes – Many people are under the impression that wireless is not reliable and have heard horror stories about wireless Internet constantly going out. The difference is in the installation standards. If your signal quality is marginal, we will not install service, avoiding headaches for you, and for our technicians. The SS Wireless network has an uptime of 99.99%, and is monitored 24/7.

Satellite – most satellites are floating in orbit between 100 and 24,000 miles away. That’s how far your data is traveling – so latency (the delay between the signal being sent and reaching its destination) is going to be much higher than just about any other option. By comparison, your nearest SS Wireless tower will be less than 5 miles from your house. SS Wireless latency times (i.e. 30ms) are a fraction of that of satellite (i.e. 400ms). Customers who switch from Satellite to SS Wireless are often amazed by the improvement in Internet speed and reliability. Unlike Satellite, weather does not affect SS Wireless service.

DSL – Only available in towns, or within a certain distance to the DSL Central Office. Usually requires a phone line, so bundling with phone is usually required. Most DSL speeds are between 1 and 3 Mbps. Beware – the older the phone lines in your town or neighborhood, the slower and less reliable your DSL Internet connection can be. If you are looking to cancel your landline telephone and get Internet only, or you want more speed than DSL can provide, SS Wireless could be your solution.

Cable – It can be very fast. Cable providers rank highest on lists of companies with the worst customer service. SS Wireless’s speeds are comparable to cable, and customers enjoy local, friendly, and knowledgeable support.

Fiber – It can be the fastest – but it’s not always. Providers can vary a lot – from the speeds they offer and how much they charge, to how long it takes to repair a cut fiber line and restore an outage. It’s not available everywhere, so if you have the option to choose fiber, you might want to look into it if speed is important to you.

Unlike satellite, which can lose signal during heavy rain, weather does not typically affect the wireless signal. There are some exceptions to this, such as, severe storms and ice. Lightening can sometimes damage tower equipment. SS Wireless monitors the network 24/7, so tower techs know when there is an outage and can work quickly to restore service at all hours. Ice buildup can affect a specific type of antenna called a Yagi. This is the long, skinny, pronged antenna that is only used in areas with no line-of-sight to the tower.

No, as long as the issue lies with SS Wireless’s equipment – the outside radio, the cabling, and the SS Wireless router. We service this equipment free of charge. A customer will be charged if they cut the cable or if equipment was ruined on their end. If you want your house rewired, the radio moved (i.e. getting a new roof), or your computer ends up being the problem, then there would be a charge for the visit. Support Technicians can typically troubleshoot to determine if it is your equipment or SS Wireless’, and you would be notified if a paid service visit is required.

Yes. If you move to a residence where SS Wireless is available, you can continue your service. SS Wireless can test your new location for free to determine serviceability. SS Wireless charges an $80 move fee to re-install equipment at your new location. If you are moving, and we cannot service the new location, then we will collect our equipment, and cancel your service when you ask us to do so.

SS Wireless is here to help! You can find tutorials and instructional guides on this website, and you can speak to a local technician over the phone or in person six days a week.

Straight Shot Wireless does have a Facebook page. We try to keep our customers up to date on changes to our systems, pricing, and plans. Additionally, we will post if there is an issue that would affect our customers, such as power outages due to inclement weather.
