Comcast is the only goddamn option in my apartment complex, and I'm pretty sure they know that, but I'm going to try my best to get this reduced. Does anyone know of options for internet that don't require where you live to be set up with a cable or phone line connection? Maybe there's some kind of high speed wireless hot spot type thing?No, there's nothing, other than 4G over your phone. If you have unlimited data on Verizon or something else with a great network, would work ok. Once 5G is more common, it'll be a viable way to go, though I don't know how expensive it would be.SilverIP and the like do wire up apt bldgs. SilverIP is very well-regarded. I don't know how much sway you and the other tenants might have, in terms of going that route instead.I've looked into this at length. You're hosed, basically, in Chicago, if you don't live in a multi-unit bldg with dedicated fiber service.
