Re: Only wireless or will work I am on a wisp service and it never goes down. We get rain every night where I live. I also get 2mb consistently, unlike my uncles road runner which goes from 5 mb to 512kb. I can watch netflix at 8pm with no problem. Latency is great too. I have voip and xbox with no probs. Not sure why you are so against wisp services. |

| Our only choice here is US Cellular EVDO. In spite of the $60 per month price with the miserable 5GB per month cap we're happy to have it. We get a pretty consistent 1 to 1.3 Mbit down even if it's raining HARD. (We do have a directional antenna and cell phone repeater)
So far our only issue (besides lousy US Cellular customer service) is that 5GB cap. For the price I'd expect at least double the cap. I'd be happy with 500 kbit service with a 10 GB cap. Or I can pay for usage above the cap, but not 50 cents a megabyte!
Wireless make sense here in the mountains and can work well, but it looks like we need competition to drive the providers to be a little for fair.
