What Ripple Broadband does

Ripple Broadband LLC is a privately held Florida-based fixed wireless internet service provider operating in the Florida Panhandle. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Gulf Breeze, FL, the company delivers broadband connectivity to residential and business customers via outdoor antenna installations connected to a tower-based network with line-of-sight requirements. The company has an FCC broadband label disclosure on file (FF00000001 / FF00000002 / FF00000003) for its three residential plans.

The product portfolio centers on three residential fixed wireless tiers — Casual (150 Mbps / 50 Mbps) at $49.99/month, Family (350 Mbps) at $69.99/month, and Power (1 Gbps / 500 Mbps) at $89.99/month, each offered with a $10/month pay-as-you-go alternative — plus customized business internet solutions, turnkey Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) packages for apartments/condos/HOAs, managed connectivity for hospitality venues (hotels, motels, vacation rentals, RV parks), and connectivity for senior living communities. The company is an authorized DIRECTV dealer, bundling live TV and on-demand packages as an add-on revenue stream.

Ripple Broadband operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model via its website, phone (850-930-8800), text, email, and Facebook Messenger, supplemented by a self-serve online portal, address-availability checker, and speed calculator. Demand generation relies on community events ('Positive Ripples'), a refer-a-friend referral program, local radio, door hangers, billboards, and Facebook engagement. The company is actively expanding from its initial service area of Navarre, Midway, and Gulf Breeze into Pensacola and Pensacola Beach, FL. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees, no funding or ownership outside the founders is disclosed, and no revenue figure is publicly available.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Verizon 5G Home: Verizon 5G Home is a national-scale fixed wireless access broadband offering. As Verizon expands 5G coverage into the Florida Panhandle, it directly contests Ripple's residential broadband value proposition with the backing of a tier-1 carrier.
• Starlink (SpaceX): Starlink delivers satellite broadband to residential customers across Florida, including rural and underserved areas where Ripple operates. It is a broad-incumbent substitute competing for the same connectivity-frustrated households.
• AT&T Internet: AT&T is the dominant incumbent internet provider in much of the Florida Panhandle, offering DSL, fiber, and fixed wireless. As a broad incumbent it competes head-to-head with Ripple for residential and small-business broadband customers.
• T-Mobile Home Internet: T-Mobile's 5G fixed wireless home internet service competes for the same residential broadband dollars across the U.S., including Florida. It operates at massive scale with strong brand recognition and is a credible substitute for a regional FWA ISP.
• Cox Communications: Cox Communications is the incumbent cable broadband provider across many Pensacola-area communities. As a broad incumbent with established infrastructure, it represents the primary cable-based competitive threat Ripple faces as it expands into Pensacola.

Direct peers

• Rise Broadband: Rise Broadband is the largest fixed wireless internet provider in the U.S., serving rural and suburban markets with a tiered residential and business FWA model — directly comparable to Ripple's FWA ISP business in technology, customer segments, and go-to-market.
• NextLink Internet: NextLink Internet is a regional fixed wireless ISP focused on underserved suburban and rural communities across multiple U.S. states. Comparable to Ripple in FWA technology, tiered residential/business plans, and a hyper-local acquisition approach.
• Etheric Networks: Etheric Networks operates fixed wireless internet service across parts of California with a regional, community-embedded model similar to Ripple's Florida Panhandle operation, including business and residential customers.
• Starry Internet: Starry pioneered a fixed wireless, no-contract broadband model in dense urban U.S. markets with tiered pricing and simple terms — a near-twin in product philosophy and customer contract structure, though operating at larger scale and in major metros.

Regional players

• Metronet: Metronet is a regional fiber-to-the-home ISP expanding aggressively across the Midwest and Southeast U.S. Where Metronet overlaps with Ripple's geography, its fiber offering competes on speed and reliability — a relevant adjacent competitive benchmark.
