Equipment: Fixed wireless antenna on roof, RF modem.

Did a speed test at »www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ and I'm getting:
Last Result:

Sprint Broadband direct is getting terminated by 6/30/08, due to FCC's regulations, so I'm looking for a comparable provider. |

The lowest speed you can technically call it broadband but it depends on what kind of phone you have, I am using EDGE, tethered to my phone over wifi.

My WISP is Wireless Beehive. »wirelessbeehive.com. I am very happy with this speed. It is a lot faster than what I got from Frontiernet before I canceled them.
It's $39.95 per month. (A $29.95 plan is also available.) No contract is required. There is a $49.95 installation fee. It requires an antenna on your roof that looks a lot like a Dish Network dish. |

Location: North West Alabama
(Florence, Muscle Shoals, and surrounding area)
WISP: www.netspeednow.com
Cost: $39.95/month residentual
Minimum of $100 installation
No contract, no caps that I know of, no equipment to buy
5 e-mail accounts with pop3 and web mail
Speeds: Advertised 1MB down/256kb up
My speeds: I usually average around 3Mb down and 1 to 1.5Mb up
I have had this service for 2 months and have been well pleased with it so far. I have had a couple of down times with equipment problems, but the bugs have been worked out and it seems to be reliable now. This is the only alternative in my area, other than mobile wireless. Bellsouth DSL is just spotty in the rural areas, and they don't seem to be interested in expanding. I even started a petition in the area with over 200 signatures within a 2 mile radius of my neighborhood, and sent it to Bellsouth, with no results. I am very pleased with NetSpeedNow. |

My speeds are 1.75Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up
They never advertised any actual speeds, but they are planning a new speed upgrade by the end of the year at same price.
I have AT&T UsbConnect 881U Air Card with the 3G network and my IP shows as Cingular,
I have a 2 year contract at 60 dollars a month, but have unlimited MB, no roaming charges, so no overage charges. They gave me the card so can't complain, I am in a rural area and no DSL here. |

WISP: DTN SpeedNet
Tower is located 2 miles from my home. On top of the local water tower so we have a clear view.
Download: 3000Kbps
Upload: 1000Kbps
We subscribed for 1024/384 so I guess they boosted our speed without telling us. 
Price:49.95 a month
Pings usually in the area of 45ms to major sites.
Speeds are pretty steady sometimes more around 2500/1000 but I can't complain. only problem is our speed will drop to like 100/70 randomly but a power cycle of the router and modem? will fix it. |

This is awesome!!! For an area that has no other choice besides ATT wireless (which sucks) this is fantastic!!! ATT will try to sell you wireless broadband and tell you that you can get service like this in their Edge network which is NOT true. I switched to Verizon only a week ago and am amazed at the difference. Verizon's broadband network covers much more service area than ATT, which has 3G only in large metropolitan areas. |

I probably better offer an explantion. I let them use my ham radio tower as an access point/repeater to provide local service here at the airport. All equipment is custom designed via Mikrotik and for my end...they simply left me "un-capped" and "un" everything. Nice eh?
