I was using wireless broadband ISP that went bust and Wave2Net took on some of their customers, as they also had a WAP in the area (Babb's Mountain). I think the access point towers are kind of patched together to form a coverage area, so your individual connectivity cannot be guaranteed.
I was added onto a new WAP in the area, and was getting about 6mbit/4mbit, which greatly exceeded my expectations, even though the overall latency was still less than optimal (many dropped packets). After about 2 weeks the line either has become congested or they actually throttled because the speed has dropped down sharply.
Hopefully fiber lines are coming through this growing area. Like others have said, this tech could be really good if some effort was put into it. If the price point was targeted at the same business-class level as the satellite providers ($100+/mo) I think the WISPs could afford to regulate a more reliable connection.
