I used Calyx Internet (the lowest tier) for 3 months. I get like 25-35 Mbps most of the time.

BUT like occasionally, you get dropped to less than 5 Mbps for like hours or perhaps an entire day, and when it is experiencing its low speeds, sometimes my deprioritized cellular internet is still slightly faster. Basically the point is: It's not exactly a home internet replacement.

There is even a pixel phone given to members of certain memberships.

That's not really a membership. You pay $800 upfront for the first year of the "membership", and then its $5 per month for subsequent years. Its just a nice way of wording a phone purchase. Its completely separate of the internet thing.
