| How many bars are you getting out of 3 now.
Glad you are getting good results with XOHM. How many bars of signal strength are you getting? I returned the modem after nearly a month because there was not enough signal strength to activate. I might get an external antenna to expedite the situation (looking to dump Comcast too). I live on East Lake Ave 2 blocks east of York Road. Map has not changed since Oct 10th in this area. The closest signal (by map) Northern Parkway near Lochraven Blvd.
I still might buy the device before the 12/31/08 pick 2 promotion is over.

1 edit | I get two bars. I am waiting for some antennas from someones that should arrive hopefully soon. I can let you know how it goes. The Pick 2 ends now 01/31/09. I am at Towson Town Center (3rd Flr) if you want to stop by.. My speeds are avging around 3 down and 1.2 up... I have the optimizer downloaded to let me know best place for signal. You just got to put it in a window until coverage improves or you get an outside antenna. wpsantennas.com |

| I bought the modem again this evening (second time now LOL). I placed it in upstairs windows in the front and in the back of the house. The best I get is a consistent one bar and an occasional second bar. When I got the modem the first time back in October one of the Xohm in house tech people said that Xohm will be releasing its own antenna in December. I hope I can keep it this time. Funny the 700 block of East lake avenue shows on the map as not having service (confirmed by me I guess) but just 4 short blocks away to the east there is supposed to be signal. Hopefully I can hang in there long enough for them to close the holes in northern Baltimore. I think south of Coldspring lane the coverage is solid all the way to the harbor. Where on the 3rd level are you? Thanks

New Freedom, PA | The XOHM kiosk is near the Food Court on the 3rd Flr near the Nordstrom Wing. It's funny how I live probably farther away then anyone else and have some good speeds.. huh.. |
