FAQs

Service and Coverage

What neighborhoods in Seattle do you serve?

We provide internet service across many Seattle neighborhoods, including Ballard, Magnolia, Lake Union, Fremont, and Queen Anne. If you’re outside these areas, reach out — we’re expanding and may be able to connect you.

How can I check if Salmon Bay Wireless is available at my address?

You can check service availability online or give us a quick call. Our local team can usually confirm within minutes if we can serve your location.

Do you offer both residential and business internet in Seattle?

Yes. We provide reliable internet for both homes and businesses. Business customers often choose us for faster installs, redundancy, and local support, while residential users love the no-contract, no-hassle setup.

Do you offer service to boats?

Yes we do. As a matter of fact we service many marinas in the area along the Ship Canal and in Lake Union. Depending upon your marina, we offer a hardwired connection straight to your boat or a wireless connection with a small antenna. 

Speed and Reliability

How fast is Salmon Bay Wireless internet?

Our fixed wireless internet delivers speeds that meet the needs of most homes and businesses, from video streaming and gaming to video calls and cloud apps. Typical plans include 100 Mbps to 950+ Mbps.

Is fixed wireless internet reliable during storms or bad weather?

Yes. Our equipment is built to withstand Seattle’s rain and stormy seasons. Fixed wireless is different from satellite — it’s a short-range signal with line of sight, which means weather has very little effect on reliability.

How does fixed wireless compare to fiber or cable internet in Seattle?

Fixed wireless can deliver the same speeds most people use with fiber or cable. The big difference is installation time — while fiber builds can take weeks or months, fixed wireless can usually be installed in days without trenching or construction.

Installation

How long does installation take compared to Comcast or CenturyLink?

Most of our customers are online within a few days of signing up. Larger providers often take weeks (or even months) because of construction backlogs. We keep things fast and simple.

Do I need to dig trenches or install new wiring?

No. Fixed wireless uses a small antenna on your building to connect to our network. There’s no trenching, digging, or waiting on permits.

What equipment do I need for installation?

We install a small antenna and provide the necessary gear to get you online. All you need inside is your own router or Wi-Fi system, or we can recommend one.

Support and Contracts

Do you require long-term contracts or offer month-to-month internet service?

We offer flexible options, including month-to-month service. We don’t believe in locking customers into long-term contracts with big cancellation fees.

Are there hidden fees with your internet plans?

No. Our pricing is transparent. What you see is what you pay — no surprise charges, equipment rental fees, or sudden rate hikes.

How do I reach local support if I have an issue?

You’ll connect directly with our Seattle-based team. No 1-800 number, no endless hold times. Just real people who can solve problems quickly.

Choosing the Right Internet in Seattle

Why is fixed wireless internet a good fit for Seattle businesses and homes?

Seattle’s hills, water, and older infrastructure can make fiber or cable installation slow and costly. Fixed wireless skips the digging and wiring, making it a faster, flexible option while still being reliable.

What makes Salmon Bay Wireless different from Comcast, CenturyLink, or Wave?

We’re local. That means fast installs, transparent pricing, and support you can actually reach. No call centers, no waiting weeks for a technician, and no surprise bills.

How does internet downtime affect small businesses in Seattle?

Downtime can stop credit card machines, shut off cloud apps, and cost hundreds or thousands in lost sales. That’s why local businesses choose us for reliable service and backup connections that keep them running.

For Business Customers

Can Salmon Bay Wireless support video conferencing and cloud applications?

Yes. Our business internet is built for modern work — Zoom calls, Teams meetings, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and cloud apps all run smoothly on our network.

Do you offer static IP addresses for businesses?

Yes. If your business needs a static IP for servers, VPNs, or other tools, we can provide it.

Can I use Salmon Bay Wireless as a backup connection to my fiber line?

Absolutely. Many businesses use us as a redundant backup. If fiber goes down, your network automatically switches to Salmon Bay Wireless to keep operations running.
