Pings are pretty good, not as good as some, they range around 30-100ms for games. Its a reliable connection, during peak times I usally don't get under 1.4MB down, which is very nice coming from HughesNet.

Overall: Fast Enough Speeds(for me), No FAP(dl limit), pings are good, great support.

EDIT: I noticed alot of people where using SpeedTest.Net, and here my result:

Good Enough for me 3.

Location: Heathsville VA (act. Wicomico Church)
Provider: Northern Neck Wifi (www.nnwifi.com)
Details: Installed a data pole in yard since I live in a dip in the area, trees everywere, was able to pick up main tower in Reedsville, they have to go over to the tower there to direct the antenna to point it more my way, that should be done in the next week or so, was able to pick up in cherry picker 5mg down and up, very happy with service, even met a new buddy on psn

edit: sorry forgot pricing, 29.95 res, 59.95 business, 250.00 install fee, really great people if you are interested

Advertised Speed: 5mbps/2mbps
Actual: 2-4mbps/1mpbs

Speeds cut in half every 1GB usage. Resets count everyday.

Price $34.95 ($5 antenna rental) = $39.95

WISP: Digis Inc. (using Motorola Canopy)

Typical "last mile" latency: 15-20ms (Note that their peering agreements also suck - bad peering locations)

Location: Utah County

100.00 At&t

10 megs up and down

ISP: CalDSL
Location: Rural Tracy, CA

Speed: 50k-2M/50k-2M
Latency: 25ms-3000ms
Packet loss: 5-40%
Price: $45/mo

Service was actually pretty solid for about 2 years. Intermittent connection and latency has showed up in the last 4 months. 3G may be my only other option.

ISP: »www.Casair.net
Cost: $99.95
Advertised Speeds: 4Mb x 768kbps
Equipment: Alvarion WiMax 3.65ghz
Notes: Pleased with the service Casair provides. Friendly tech support and knowledgeable. Highly recommend others in the Mid-Michigan area give them a try.

Actual Speeds:


Actual Ping:

1.5mb to 2.0mb downloads: 750kb to 1.0mb upload: $56 month with no fixed contract: Apple Valley-Lucerne Valley, Ca: Wisprenn.com. Great Service in this rural desert area where only dial up (NO DSL) is available.

Taken from my other topic.

Plan: 3mbps down / 512(.5)kbps up.

Actual speed?



Pingtest.net:



As I mentioned in my original post here, ECSIS.NET ISP in North-Western TN.

Cricket Wireless "Unlimited Broadband" - 5gb the first month at about 90Kb/s.
Then it drops to 10-20Kb/s if you are still using it. If you stop using for a month. It will re-release the Gbs you used the last month as Crickets computer counts you back under your original 5Gb allotment. But you won't be charged any more than the $40/month. eg no $600 surprise bills.

Speed 20Kb/s
Price: $40/month plus about $10 more in taxes etc
Location San Diego, CA

Speed: 768/256
Price: $44.99 (6/GB month data cap, $3/GB for overages)
Eastern Oregon Net, Inc. in Lostine, OR


Not sure what's with the crap ping, that doesn't seem usual.

Notes: decent, respectful customer service. Speeds are okay most of the time, sometimes have a day or two where it's raaaather slow. Data cap and overage charges are ridiculous.

Clear Wireless

Seattle, WA (98126) - Admiral District

Download 2 Mbps

Upload 0.5 Mbps

Latency 250 ms constant with extended spikes up of 1500 to 2500 ms (1 + hours long)

$55/mo home + mobile combo package for 6Mbps D/1 Mbps U

Performance is equal to 56k dial up or ISDN/iDSL but far more unreliable and oversubscribed network due to the latency and RF issues. Tests show good bandwidth but performance does not match test results.

Basically many services such as VoIP, IM's and streaming video services are unusable.

Speed: dunno/1500kbps
Price: $49.95
Location: Mountain Cablevision, Hamilton Ontario

Location: Mathews Co. VA
Wisp: Northern Neck Wireless
Cost: $29.99 per month (Basic Tier)
Advertised Speed up/down: 1500/768

Actual:

Cricket
$60 a month no contract
7.5g cap

Cricket 3G Broadband

$60 a month
down: about 700kbs to 1.4mbs have gotten 2.0mbs a few times though. its usually pretty stable though no wild swings back and forth.
up: 400kbs to 900kbs
ping: 90 to 160

7.5g cap that I haven't even come close to using and thats with me and my wife on at the same time with just one modem and playing WoW and LoL.

Pretty happy so far. Glad I ditched Qwest dsl. 7mbs down aint worth crap when the line is down half the time and the customer service blows with Qwest too. Wish I would have switched along time ago, lol.

This is the fastest results I've seen from my 5.7 Canopy by my recollection.

Recently upgraded my router to a newer build of dd-wrt and had to retest.

Here's my 4G WiMax speed:



I'm paying $60 a month for a combined 4G/3G service. The 3G has been unusable since September 28th, 2010. The provider gave me full credit for October and November when I only had their 3G service, and will decide by Wednesday whether to give me half credit for December, during which I added their 4G WiMax to my plan. My apartment happens to have excellent indoor WiMax coverage, but that's a lucky isolated spot, as there is no 4G WiMax coverage 10 feet away from my apartment or, indeed, on any of the surrounding blocks. That means that if I take my laptop anywhere nearby, whether it's a park, or a restaurant or a bus stop, I have no Internet access at all. So I've got the Broadband but not the Mobile! Hence the application for half credit on the missing 3G service, which was supposed to fill in for gaps like that.

My location is Manhattan, NYC, 10022.

My provider is Sprint.

Here is my 2nd report. This one is for the WISP at the office. Same company I use for out\r WISP at the house but the office is running off a different tower.

5 static IP's
