Re: 200x Dial Up....
It's a joke. I live near the deployment area of this service and there has been propaganda in the local papers about how fast and cheap this service is going to be. I get 2mbps DSL service for $35/mo and I don't have to worry about sharing bandwidth with anybody in my neighborhood. I highly doubt that the mesh network is going to offer anybody steady speeds, especially during peak usage times.
Does anybody know what effects this type of mesh network would have on private 802.11 access points set up in a home? We already have a point-to-point wireless internet provider in the area that utilizes the 900MHz, 2.4GHz, and 5.8GHz frequency bands, but it requires line of sight to the ISP's antennas. This mesh idea sounds like it's going to be in the way of anybody else trying to use the 2.4GHz spectrum. |
