| $29/mo for 5000/5000 wireless is pretty damn good~
For anyone living downtown, or working long hours there, this'll be a pretty slick service |

since it's a Canadian service, the price per month would be in CDN funds. |

There seems to be no caps (at least right now). Hopefully it will expand through the city (it's only available in the downtown core). |

Once the commercial launch comes around, I seriously doubt you're going to get 5mb symmetrical for $29. Mesh networks have the same problem as cable, not enough backbone insertion. When you have 5 AP's sharing a single backhaul connection (which may also be part of another mesh network) and then maybe 20+ clients per AP, it doesn't take long before your backbone is all used up and it's crawling like dial up.
If they can truly manage to maintain a CIR of 5mbps to every client, I am going to convince my WISP to purchase that gear.
