BAM Broadband: a buyer's guide
Everything you need to know about BAM Broadband — coverage footprint, equipment, installation, and how pricing actually works after the promo.
About BAM Broadband
As a combination of two former internet companies, Desert iNET and DirectLink, BAM Broadband is a fiber and fixed wireless internet provider serving areas across Arizona and Colorado. BAM Broadband was founded with an emphasis on local service, and the company continues to operate local offices and provide its customers with local internet support. Committed to expansion, BAM Broadband is actively building more fiber infrastructure in select areas, adding high-speed access for places where those speeds were not previously possible. Starting at prices of just $60 per month for fixed wireless and $69 per month for fiber internet, BAM Broadband’s fastest fiber internet plan reaches speeds up to 8 Gbps.
Why pick BAM Broadband?
Why pick BAM Broadband over the alternatives? It depends on what's serviceable at your address and what you're optimizing for. BAM Broadband runs a fixed_wireless network, which means strong speeds and reliability where the infrastructure exists. The pros and cons section on this page summarizes real customer feedback. Before you sign up, always run an availability check at your ZIP — even nationwide carriers don't reach every address.
BAM Broadband equipment & modems
BAM Broadband provides the modem and Wi-Fi equipment needed for service in most plans. Some plans include the equipment fee in the monthly price; others charge a $10-15/mo rental. You can typically buy your own compatible modem to avoid rental fees — check BAM Broadband's approved-device list. Self-installation kits are standard for non-fiber plans and ship in 3-5 business days.
Installing BAM Broadband
BAM Broadband installation depends on the plan. Cable, DSL, and fixed-wireless plans usually offer self-install kits — connect the modem yourself in 15 minutes. Fiber plans typically require a professional technician visit (2-4 hour window) for the optical network terminal install. 5G home internet is fully self-install. Same-week appointments are usually available; same-day in major metros.
BAM Broadband pricing & fees
BAM Broadband pricing follows the industry pattern: a 12-month promotional rate, then a higher regular rate. Add equipment rental ($10-15/mo) if not included, and any local franchise fees. Bundles with TV or mobile can save $20-40/mo. Watch for: hidden installation fees on professional installs, early termination penalties on contracts, and price hikes after promo period. Always confirm the final post-promo price before signing.
