1 edit | Wave2Net and Winchester Wireless I had spoken with Winchester Wireless (I respect the technology they're using) and they were not able to provide service at my address, so I didn't consider them further.
I've been using Wave2Net for a couple of months now, so far quite happy, with the minor exceptions I raised earlier (not quite good enough for VoIP at certain times of day). I have not experienced another cut out, like the 2-hour issue I mentioned before. Reliability has been very good in all kinds of weather (heavy rain, heavy snow, heavy fog, etc.). I have lost service one other time, but it was only out for about 10 minutes.
All in all, pretty good for two months of constant heavy usage I put on the system (I work from home and use it constantly). I would still prefer greater reliability with no down time at all (my FiOS connection never blinked for even a second over 3 years of heavy use) and quality of service for VoIP (like I could do over any wire-based service), but in a rural area where wireless is the only option, I understand we can't ignore RF physics. Taking that into account, and that I can enjoy not living in the 'burbs, I'm very happy with Wave2Net.
