Re: just cells?

You can thank the affiliate iPCS for your woes. Coverage for Sprint in norther lower Michigan is atrocious. Up near Rogers City and Ocqueoc/Millersburg area Sprint put native towers. I had full Rev. A coverage and pretty good speed (1.5/400). Those are some pretty rural areas. Your other problem is that Altel hasn't deployed EVDO in your area either (but they do have 1xRTT).

I can appreciate your problems though. I'm 2000ft short of the CO limitation, and cable stopped at the other side of a railroad track about 750ft. from my house. It's so close i can smell it. But I have absolutely no hope of getting "wired" in this decade (not enough houses to justify cable deployment or an RT). EVDO here is great. WiMax will be fantastic in mid 08. I think Cadillac and the western part of the state will start to get better, most especially if the 700Mhz auction goes to who we hope it goes to.

Actually we have EVDO in Caddy now. I want to do some speed tests closer to town (with more signal). But the "EV" icon is lit on my brother's phone. This just happened within the last month or so. My family plan is full, but I'm contemplating a very custom router that can load balance and only connect at certain times (non-peak). Someday........
