This way, you can claim fibre technology (lasers, lights transmission) AND wireless.

(Of course, the use of powerful lasers may attract attention of the RCMP since they would think you have become a henchmen for DrEvil's evil plans to take over the world.)

FYI To the OP:: You REALLY want to be careful with the "Wireless Fiber" label. I know of another ISP in Canada that was sued for exactly that type of naming practice. If it's not fiber and it's IS wireless then that statement itself leaves you open for lawsuit.

RE: "Free Wireless for Life" : There's nothing Sketchy there - the company is trading "Access Point" locations for Free service. Hell if they can get a rooftop in Montreal for FREE (really it is free to them in terms of true cost) then that's an excellent deal for THEM! - I'd expect to pay upwards of $400 per month PER antenna for decent urban roof top locations.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-SkyNet-Canada-Starting-to-get-some-reviews-in-23288813 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:52:34 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-SkyNet-Canada-Starting-to-get-some-reviews-in-23286489

For our other higher freqs, depending on whether its ISM or licensed, for ISM bands, we again analyze for cleanest freq available which also depends on spectrum width we decide to use for the install. If install is a larger setup with tower etc, we will most likely use the wider spectrum. We do not encouter that much interference on the ISM bands due to highly gained parabolics we use at each site. We use 6 degree beamwidth..

my last off topic reply..

One also must consider infrastructure costs that can reliably offer such speeds to the mass's plus ROI for a 59$ a month plan. There is no way right now to offset thousand dollar installation costs to offer such speeds to single dwelling homes, as you wont pay a thousand dollars for an install nor would I.. But I will say that I have some sort of offering to the general public up my sleeve that will be announced once I satisfied with service propogation and system limits. ;)
Actually I would pay $1000 or more for a direct install to my home.

Guess you can call it a tease ;)

Ohh BTW as most our customers utilize VoIP over the network, ahh yes we do QoS throughout entire infrastructure ;)

Reframing from directly insulting you, that comment you made again clearly shows a limited amount of though that went into your post and the search for negativity. A business oriented person would have obviously have come to that conclusion on his own. Yes I have a beef with you, considering the fact you have already directly insulted me here personally and went out of your way trying have my domain name removed. My registrar knows me well for I own,,, I dont even have a clue how many websites I own.. I have been with them and network solutions for years and years... My registrar called me on my personal cell phone mins after he received your complaint ;)

It was very visibly registered under incomplete/false info that is not accepted for domain registrations.

I was doing my own research to confirm what had been said above, just because I read it about someone, doesn't mean I believe it.

I was well within my rights to do what I did, and I don't have anything to say about it. I was doing my due diligence as any client of an unknown company would do when taking into consideration the cost and weight of what was being offered.

I still in my own opinion am seriously skeptical of what is being offered. Even with positive reviews, it's visible the new system is not under any serious loading by clients yet. What I do find disturbing, is the client who posted the review is getting substantially higher speed than he is paying for... When it comes to connections of this caliber and price, you don't just get higher than paid/promised rates. It shows that there's no serious QoS and traffic control in place. High end providers don't just give you spare bandwidth that's lying around.
