If it can be compared to EDVO, then I can assume like EDVO, there will be plenty of deadspots. On the Southside of Chicago, EDVO is notorius for being inconsistent. I can't see how this made frontpage of BBR. They took 12 people with laptops and a few with cell phones, put them in a virtually a straight line with minimal intrusions and got connectivity....great. Now lets see 1000 people with boundries from Lake to Van Buren and Michigan to Canal. The results will be totally different.
Yeah, wireless broadband performance will ALWAYS vary widely. It's the nature of the beast. If you want to be stuck to wired broadband go for it. But I've dumped my cable modem for EVDO and never looked back, don't miss wired at all.

WiMAX will be even better and in more variety of devices. For WiMAX devices that use MIMO antennas, there will be less variance. But tower/site load will always be tough to manage as well for the carriers.
