    How does a WISP work?

    Here in Ireland WISPs advertise packages anywhere from 4Mbps up to 150Mbps. The price also varies a lot from one WISP to another and most have multiple price tiers according to the ordered speed. So it's hard to say what speed to expect, a bit like asking what kind of speeds do you get on a motorway. Which city? Rush hour? Tollway? etc... it's the same with a WISP. ? As wireless is a shared medium, the actual real world speed varies according to the number of users online on the local mast. For example, with the WISP Imagine that advertises 150Mbps, I've seen people post speed tests anywhere from under 2Mbps to over 100Mbps in the evening, i.e. those lucky to get the high speeds likely have very few subscribers on the local mast, e.g. just recently installed. When an ISP goes live in your area, you'll likely get the best speeds from it in the first few months of it going live. The amount it drops off will depend on how many others in your area join the service. As for the text colour, click this icon in the toolbar and choose 'Automatic': ?
