The Twist Technology Advantage
How Twist Is Delivering Fiber-Like Internet to San Jose Without Digging Up Your Street
Since launching in October 2024, Twist Broadband has brought a new choice for high-speed internet to over 150,000 homes across San Jose, Santa Clara, Milpitas, Fremont, and more. But customers often ask: What makes Twist different?
The Technology Behind Twist: Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)
Twist uses fixed wireless access (FWA), a cutting-edge broadband solution that delivers fast speeds without the need for underground fiber or cable.
Our equipment comes from Tarana Wireless, a Bay Area-based company in Milpitas, and provides:
- Fiber-like speeds (faster than cable upstream)
- Faster deployment (no trenching or street digging)
- Lower cost (which means better pricing for you)
- Smaller environmental impact
And with an upgrade coming in 2025, we’ll be offering even higher speed tiers across San Jose.
Twist vs. 5G Home Internet (T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T)
You’ve probably seen 5G home internet ads. But here’s how Twist stands out:
- Home-first network: 100% of our bandwidth is dedicated to home users—not shared with mobile traffic like the big 5G providers.
- Stronger signal: Our outdoor-mounted nodes bypass walls and deliver stronger, more stable connections.
A Better Internet Experience for San Jose Homes
Whether you work from home, stream 4K content, or just want a reliable connection that covers your whole house (and your EV in the driveway), Twist is a smarter alternative to cable and 5G.
