I'll post some upload speeds later when I get home tonight. My ISP is FreedomNet Solutions out of Grand Rapids, Mi. It's $39.00/month.

well that's what you get for having such a good site!

and the really cool thing is that it is $30 a month cheaper and 2x as fast as satellite that I had. I guess I should be happy with this huh?

I've posted my results from Wimax service :::..

I've had Wimax for a little over a month and it works pretty good. Occasionally I have to reboot the modem but the speeds and ping times are awesome compared to the Wildblue satellite service I had. I live about 8 miles from the tower and have a small antenna on my roof. 2meg down/.5meg up and pretty reliable. Weather doesn't seem to affect it too much.
