I'm considering going to the 10/10 dedicated link for $150 -- ouch --but I'm told the speed would be steadier than I am getting now. Why does it seem all WISPs are so expensive proportionate to the slow speeds they offer?

ggultra2764 posted : Advertised Speed: 12 Mbps down, 4 Mbps up
Actual Speed: Being wireless, the actual speed tends to fluctuate quite a bit, though I've never got download speed going below 5 Mbps. I quite often get download speeds beyond the advertised VZW speed. Fastest I've been able to get out here is 20 Mbps.
Price: $150
Location: Cambridge, NY (live roughly three miles out of the village)
ISP: Verizon Wireless

Was a former Millenicom subscriber before I got forced to have to jump back onto Verizon. The speed and connectivity is no different from before when I was on Millenicom and my latency is quite low being around 60 ms. But the high monthly rates for low data caps are still a money burner.

anon posted : Pretty darned excited. Was a Mcom user for years, until the Sprint debacle. Forced to move to Dishnet. On Dishnet for 14 months. Use AT&T for our cell service, and their new double value plans on mobile share made it more affordable for me to take my lumps on a Dish ETF and switch to ATT. Awaiting our hotspot to really take advantage. Net cost? $70 for 40GB to share when we previously had 10gb on phone and 10gb on satellite which was hampered by incredible latency. And the increase in our speed since we're in a great 4G area? Off the charts!

Ole Juul posted : I'm in Canada. Like many rural areas of this country, we can get a 1500Mb/s basic package. I had that for some years and I got just about exactly that, both up and down, but up tends to be a bit faster. That's just under $40 per month including taxes. The thing is, that is what speed tests indicate but that number is not of any practical use to me.

File transfers and HTTP server access is still much slower than what the service plan is called. I don't care what speed tests indicate or what the peaks are. Those numbers have no meaning or relationship to my actual experience.

I recently switched to a 2500Mb/s package for an extra ten bucks per month. For YouTube and torrents it does peak to that, and even higher, but for browsing and regular file transfers like FTP, it's still down in the 1500 or (generally much) less range. There's obviously a lot of packet shaping and buffer bloat. I think that is the sad state of the industry these days. Otherwise I do like my little small-town ISP.

truckm6523 posted : I have had Verizon Wireless for 2 years on a MiFi2200.

I had a 5GB plan and went over. I was throttled, then I upgraded and was still throttled. I hit 90% every month, don't go over, anymore.

My speeds vary, since we travel so much. Basically, it's like dial-up to 1.5M

For this, I pay $80 per month. We travel all over the country and I can generally find some access.

I would give up my unlimited data plan on my phone. in exchange for my MiFi. We need maps and sites I can't get on my phone.

My $700 phone is useless. I'm sorry I bought it.

I hugely improved my ping and bandwidth by making myself a cantenna and pointing it at the nearest tower (cut can in half... cut slot for dongle in middle of can... insert dongle *snicker*... pretty easy and if you have one of those coffee cans that are cardboard with foil layers it is super easy to cut up). My signal strength went from 40% to 100% and my ping went from ~250 to <100... my download bandwidth varies from 3 to 7mbs.

criggs posted : Here's my 4G WiMax speed:

I'm paying $60 a month for a combined 4G/3G service. The 3G has been unusable since September 28th, 2010. The provider gave me full credit for October and November when I only had their 3G service, and will decide by Wednesday whether to give me half credit for December, during which I added their 4G WiMax to my plan. My apartment happens to have excellent indoor WiMax coverage, but that's a lucky isolated spot, as there is no 4G WiMax coverage 10 feet away from my apartment or, indeed, on any of the surrounding blocks. That means that if I take my laptop anywhere nearby, whether it's a park, or a restaurant or a bus stop, I have no Internet access at all. So I've got the Broadband but not the Mobile! Hence the application for half credit on the missing 3G service, which was supposed to fill in for gaps like that.

My location is Manhattan, NYC, 10022.

My provider is Sprint.

Basically many services such as VoIP, IM's and streaming video services are unusable.
