BliZZardX Premium join:2002-08-18 Toronto, ON	reply to Immortal Looks like a nice fixed wireless option for Milton. I thought Look sold off all their spectrum. Wonder if they have enough bandwidth for a little more upload, prices are good but throughput is kinda stingy.

If I remember correctly, Look used 2.5GHz MMDS and something like DOCSIS+ as the protocol. These guys use licensed 3.6GHz and Microtik NV2 as the protocol.

ToneDef join:2012-05-16 Rockwood, ON	reply to Immortal I'm in rural Milton up in Nassagaweya on 15 Sideroad. I doubt I'd get much of a signal without an expensive tower

That's only around 10km away from the urban part of Milton, which is nothing if their own equipment is located on a decent-height tower and you've got no tall objects in your immediate area.

I'm in a forested area so I'd have to get up over all those trees. Running on Bell Turbo Hub right now and although signal stength is weak it's still pretty good. The big issue is that 3gig bandwidth that I always blow over

Do up a spreadsheet and cost it out over 12 months. The tower will probably still be cheaper, and it's not hard to find them used.

petah join:2002-07-27 L9T	reply to Immortal My neighbour has it .... I was wondering what the hell is that ugly piece of thing/antenna sticking out on top of his roof. They then ghettoly ran the cable down 1/2 of the roof into the house. I'll update with a picture tonight if I remember. The antenna sticks out like a sore thumb. »standardbroadbandhome.ca/images/···all2.png

slant1 @64.250.95.x	reply to Immortal They have been in the wireless business since 2005, all business servcies up until last June when they moved head offices to Milton and to over the LOOK building and tower. They launched the residential service only because of business customers in Milton askign time and time again to get better service than what what was available. They have SOLID speeds, and dont provide "up to" junk

I never said they used the same equipment as Look. In fact, I pointed out the obvious differences that would mean that they specifically don't use the same equipment as Look.
