Good morning Oliver, and a Happy New Year to you too.
I understand that the new tower is not yet "online"
Do you have any idea when it might be activated. ?
I think you are quite right in your analysis.. I have been tracking their
offers, just waiting for the new tower to go online.
best wishes

Dear Neighbors,
First of all - Happy New Year!
Secondly, now that we have a cell tower here, we can now access ATT
Wireless Internet. You may have received their emails.
ATT is basically offering 2x the speed at 1/2 the cost of Cal.net
ATT is $40/mo (for 1st year), 10mbps download with 215Gig/mo limit. NOTE
- there is a data limit.
If you have the 5mbps Cal.net plan, the cost is around $60/mo, but it
has unlimited data. Cost is $70/mo with taxes.
So here's the tip:
Call Cal.net and ask what they are offering now that ATT wireless
internet is here. They will (should) tell you that for customers that
have access to ATT an tower, they offer 7mbps download for $40/mo with
unlimited data. So with taxes it's $49/mo
You can save $30/mo an is is still a good plan.
You may want to get both Cal.net and ATT. When the power goes out for a
PSPS (Public Safety Power Shutoff), hopefully one of the 2 services will
still be up and the cost is $80/mo for both services. During one of the
last PSPS, we lost landlines and cal.net internet also. Cell phones i.e.
LTE still worked as I remember, but the "Dark Tower" was not up and
running yet.
