300kb is slow? What do you want to do with a free wireless? BT? download porn?

It's plenty for people who want to enjoy a nice afternoon in the city while chatting with friends over skype or checking out maps or mails on the go.

Well if thats 300kb up and down thats more than enough for some pretty hardcore gamming. Friend of mine was startign up his own paid wireless isp 1500 up and down (yes yes very nice speeds pretty high bandwidth to heh) I haveroad runner 3500+ down what the hell ever up dont know dont care just know its over 300 up. My ping times are pretty decent to most places in low 50 to low 60s. To same sites i was pinging he was getting 10 to 20 ms at most. Now range on his was about 4 miles no antena with one that range was over 8 miles. This was with a 9 inch dish antena for wireless and the tranceiver was sitting on his shops roof during the tests. Speed drop off was pretty minimal over the distances he could get from it. Unfortunatly do to a idiot city building inspector telling him he needed no permit to erect the tower and the same idiot refused to isue one he never got off the ground. The city made him tare down the tower 10k to erect and same to take it down + cost of tower another 12k.
