Any possibility of line of site wireless?

Just got this at my apartment and it’s dirt cheap. Not the fastest internet on the market but more than enough

You mean like 4G/5G -> WiFi? That's not what I meant. I meant sharing the one connection with multiple buildings.

I thought about what I believe is your way until https://www.tomshardware.com/opinion/t-mobile-home-internet-... and https://www.tomshardware.com/news/t-mobile-misleads-home-int... .

Well I think it’s technically pretty similar to 5G, but it doesn’t use existing 5G towers. It’s this company in Denver that sets up receivers on top of certain buildings and distributes using a line of sight connection. What’s weird is that we plug our modem into the phone jack in the wall

Not my area of expertise though so I could be leaving out info

Edit: Starry is the company, I believe they were just purchased by Verizon

Oh then yeah actually it is what I meant. But basically you can just buy the hardware from ubiquiti to do it yourself. No monthly anything.
