News3LV has reported that a new internet service from T-Mobile is being set up for Clark County and the surrounding areas, challenging the existing providers for broadband customers in southern Nevada.

Prices start from $50 with no installation fee, aimed squarely at the providers already serving the area.

Download speeds are quoted at 25Mbps to 50Mbps with slower uploads. Whether that is fast enough for someone working from home delivering digital marketing services is a question mark until it is tested properly.

The rural character of some areas near Vegas means wireless solutions are often the best option, and with 5G on the horizon there is a real decision to make: sign up to broadband now, or wait?

Housebound, And Working

Covid brought a lot of Las Vegas businesses to their knees, particularly in the travel sector that so much of the Vegas economy rests on. Some e-commerce businesses have carried on doing well through shutdowns and restrictions, though, and there has been a rise in stay-at-home entrepreneurs starting online businesses — either to make up for earnings lost elsewhere, or because they think the landscape has changed for good.

A reliable internet connection is crucial to every digital marketing agency anywhere in the world, but especially somewhere like southern Nevada, where distance and smaller communities can slow connections down.

Hopefully this T-Mobile service adds another layer of competition, and pushes the others towards better speeds and better service. It is Las Vegas residents and small businesses who stand to benefit.

If you are setting up a new venture from home, it is worth reading how digital marketing in Las Vegas actually works before you spend anything on it.
