Cost: Most wireline phone companies charge more than what you 'd pay for most alternatives, and some are taxed more as well.

Long Distance and extra features like Call Waiting are normally included with alternative phones.

Wireless internet is convenient and easy. When using a cellular phone, most people connect to the wireless internet through their cell phone towers. However, when you're at home, you might want a stronger connection for all of the other devices that require internet access such as your laptop, tablet, and television. In cases like these, a mobile or Wi-Fi hotspot works wonders for connecting all the devices simultaneously.
“Tethering” is the sharing a smartphone network connection with another device and allow connections to the Internet via the other device’s connection (Hoffman, 2013).Tethering is frequently used to access the Internet on a laptop using a smartphone data connection (Hoffman, 2013). One item that most people do not realize is they can also tether over Bluetooth and this will consume much less battery power than Wi-Fi would (Hoffman, 2013).
Insufficient bandwidth: Mobile Internet access is generally slower than direct cable connections, using technologies such as GPRS and EDGE, and more recently HSDPA and 3G networks. These networks are usually available within range of commercial cell phone towers. Higher speed LANs are inexpensive but have very limited range.
Cellular and broadband phones normally include Long Distance, Voice Mail, Caller ID, Call Forwarding and more, usually at no additional charge. They also have Text Messaging and various forms of data service which are unavailable with a landline.
Fixed wireless broadband uses radio waves transmitted via ground stations and transceivers (a very similar concept to cell phone towers) to deliver internet to households. If you have ever been with a wireless ISP before, especially one that uses satellites, then you know that they can be unreliable; especially in inclement weather. But, this is not the case with NuSkope internet. In fact, NuSkope’s fixed wireless broadband is very reliable. It is not impacted by bad weather like other wireless set ups, and will deliver consistent
