About
What is NV
Wireless Internet and how does your service work?
NV
Wireless Internet is a provider of high speed internet
services over a wireless network. We do not use your
phone lines or your cable connection. A small antenna is
installed on the customer’s roof and this antenna picks
up a signal from our closest transmitting antenna. A
cable is run from the rooftop antenna down into the
customer’s home or office, where it is connected to a
modem. From this modem you can either plug directly into
your computer, or you can plug into a router and connect
multiple computers to the internet.
How do I know if
your service is available in my area?
We currently have service throughout most of the greater
metropolitan areas and are rapidly expanding.

NV
Wireless Internet
offer email accounts?
Yes. Our service comes with one 5MB email account, but
larger capacity email accounts or additional email boxes
can be purchased for a small monthly fee.
Can I keep my old
email accounts?
Yes. Although NV
Wireless Internet does not do any remote
hosting of third party email accounts, accounts hosted
elsewhere can be accessed using
