Internet provider said we might be switching to cell-tower based dial-up because apparently it is "higher speed". Does something seem off to you?

By the way, the service was fiber optic before, so dial-up to me seems like two giant leaps back. If push comes to shove, I might need scale down all images and possibly remove some picture intensive parts of the website.

Sounds more like they want to switch to a "fixed wireless" system, basically like cellular data except you use it for home internet. I doubt they actually mean "dial-up", no ISP in their right mind would switch their customers to something that terrible for modern internet usage

It's still a leap back (wired via fiber compared to wireless), I don't understand why they'd be doing this (the cost of rolling out a fiber system comes to mind, but if it's already there, why bother switching?)

You have a point that it could be fixed wireless, since the company is trying to launch a mobile division that I believe is failing, so there is that.

If you hear about dial-up, run. Where I'm from, DSL's a thing of the past now
