Wireless Broadband?

time623 · March 25, 2014

Does anyone have any experience with it? Wireless Broadband? Currently I have horrible 1.5mb/s down internet and a new company is expanding into my area. They say low latency, no data caps and 25mb/s down. I want to get it reeaally bad, but it there any reason to stick with the reliable old DSL line? Will there be slows during prime time etc? I cant find much information on it at all, all I really know is its powered by "Motorola Canopy". Also how does it work? I've talked to them and they said theyre building a tower near me to bring me in range, but what connects to tower? Is it a line to tower and then wireless to customer? Sorry for this being so long winded, I just don't know what I'm getting myself into with this company.

Hahah, DSL sucks so bad. My ISP runs a wireless service as well for rural customers and they get roughly 10 down 1 up with latencies no higher than 30ms back to the city.

As far as gear, you'll receive some wireless/WIMAX dish that connects back to it. Hopefully it's Ubiquiti gear, cuz that stuff is awesome.

As far as peak times go, that depends how many customers they have, and how strong each of their customers connections are. It's not a bad option thou, I'd go for it.
