1 edit | What is your speed, service price, and location and ISP? I didn't see one of these threads in the wireless forums.
I thought it would be interesting to share this information with other members.
I'll go first:
Speed: 768/256
Price: $49.99
Location: Comwavz/WatchTV in Northwest Ohio
Note: Excellent customer service!  (I'm hoping for faster speeds in the future.  )
[mod note - title changed to add ISP] | |

varies wildly throughout the day!!!!
Price: $60/month
$45/month if paid yearly
Abilene, Texas
ISP is: Texas Communications (called Camalott Communications in some circles)
Bottom line: high cost, speed varies too much, there must be a better way! | |

| Hi! Very interested in this service... The service I have right now doesn't work half the time, and sometimes it runs at speeds below dial-up.
When you say it varies wildly throughout the day... How much does it vary? Could you give me a good range of speeds associated with time frames. Thanks! | |

This is really the only game in town for my area. There's another WISP (Stonebridge Wireless), but they claim that their equipment is "WiMax Ready" and their service is "business focused" so their install charge is $800 and they require a 3 year committment. And they charge $59/month for 1mb/1mb service and $99/month for 1544 Kbps/1544 Kbps service.
Seeing what others get for their money is nice. And disturbing to see how little I get for what I pay. | |

| Re: What is your speed, service price, and locatio I'm surprised I get what I get. I am in a hole, covered in trees. I am off the Bryan antenna. Had to put a 15ft pole on the roof, and get a special antenna. +13dbi instead of the +9 they usually use for 900mhz. I only got a signal at one point on the roof, if I move over a few feet, nothing at all. I think I may put up a tower eventually.
I am just so happy to get anything. I have had direcway the last two yrs. | |

| Speed: 36/12 actual on average but it comes and goes along with packet loss.
Price: $45.00/Mo
Location: Signalpeak.net near Silver City, New Mexico
They said I probably wouldn't get signal because I'm NLOS at 4 miles from the closest repeater. I found signal with a 25' pole mounted to the side of the house. Old school equipment from them... WaveRider modem and aluminum 12 element yagie. I'm in the process of building a 50' tower to try for LOS or at least stronger signal. Any suggestions for locating a 75' cable so I don't have to house the modem outside?
There's no DSL, cable or even decent dial-up within 7 miles of my location and no plan to provide any to the population. I'd like to thank Qwest and Comcast for their lack of concern. Lack of demand in my area being the usual reply to my requests.
This wireless I'm now on smokes the dial-up which was 3.5/2. DirecWay didn't agree with Joint Ops or any VoIP programs and it's a pretty ridiculous install (They said they had to install it...) and monthly fee for the pathetic and nearly useless connection that you get. Sorry but not being able to game or talk online is not a viable option.
Sorry for the expanded version. | |

over four miles from tower through heavy spring foilage. Down from 1.3/400 in late winter.
I just keep using it, stay away from most speed tests.
Beats the Dway in every way.

I've been on since the first of the year and I can't say enough about these guys. It was a little rocky to start as I was the first customer on this tower, but they have bent over backwards to get things right. Can't complain about the speeds either. I'm using Vonage with no problems and browsing/downloading is awesome. | |

Except for the occasional high-congestion moments (lasts about 20 minutes) I have never had a problem with on-line gaming. In All-Seeing-Eye I usually have two or three pages of sub-100 pings for Battlefield 1942. Currently Guild Wars runs just fine, too.:D
Even so, when I had a problem the techs were on it, pronto. Great service!
