I dont think there's one for this. So im going to start one up.  Post what wireless isp you have (not EvDo, Edge or anything like that) , the plan, what you pay a month, and the distance you are from the tower.

My ISP: VRfuturenet,

Plan 2/512  Pay 63.00, and 12 miles from tower.  With no tweaks

Welcome to the forum MatthewAlan!!! Who's your isp?

A local ISP ECS Internet Services.

I'm using a Motorola Canopy 2.4GHZ system, and the tower is about 1/4 mile and we have direct line of site.

The installer said we had 100/100 signal.

[coolbuster2007]

i have seen something like that. i think its a backhaul module, from motorola.

[justinlay]

Yah ive  seen a couple different models, i think my new service runs off Canopy equipment to get 10mbps down and up. Were i live theres i think @ 6 Wireless isps now, and its growing

Smartbro offers 384 kbps only. and you have a speed quite unimaginable. if that is not because you have a faulty or tricky way of speed testing, is your OS the reason?

I moved and recently signed up for Sprint wireless for my home connection.  I'm less than 2 miles from the tower and pay $59.99 a month for 5MB down.  The options for my new rural location were very limited, dial-up    Wildblue/Hugesnet  or Sprint Wireless    I'm only 1.5 miles away from cable/DSL service which may as well be half way around the world.

I connect with a Sierrawireless Compass 597 through a Cradlepoint MB1000 router.  Is this all I can expect with this type of connection?
