Re: unsuccessful in large cities

Not sure where you're getting those numbers. In Tempe it was something like $20 a month for 1meg down, $30 for 2meg. (Edit: And no contract.).

It was competitive. DSL ($25 for the landline, $39 for Earthlink, and I only get 300k down). Or, Cox Cable at about $30 for 1.5meg.

I think the problem is that Wireless G isn't suited for this kind of long-distance (100 yards) wireless (in windy conditions, rain, disrupting reflections). I read that N is supposed to take advantage of reflections (thus the multiple antennas). Maybe when it's ubiquitous it would be feasible.
