Mr. Hahn Posted December 3, 2004 CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 After reading Reverend's post about them, I'm not so sure. I'd base your decision on your experiences with DirecWay. If you have been getting your advertised speeds, why pay more money for the same thing? If you haven't, ask some of the people in your town that have gotten it how it is.

JustinOhioRR Posted December 3, 2004 CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 HOLY SHIT!! I PAY 44.95 FOR ::: PRAIRIE STAR 3000 $239.99 3000K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hahn Posted December 3, 2004 CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 It's a different type of connection. That's why it's so much more expensive than your cable with same speeds Justin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingzero2309 Posted December 3, 2004 CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 speaking of connection, what kind of connection is it? it never really mentions anything other than 'wireless'...nothing about if its cable or dsl or w/e (for everything above 'standard' package' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hahn Posted December 3, 2004 CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 I believe it's wireless internet broadcasted from somewhere nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted December 3, 2004 CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 what a sham... "Up To 4.5Gb Download Speeds!!111IIIoneionewonwon" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xs1 Posted December 3, 2004 CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 How can you NOT want that internet service?? I mean l00k at the professional website! Quality doesnt get much better, unless it comes from Ronald McDonalds Playhouse that is. And with speeds of up to 4.5 GB i mean OMG! roflmfao... PRAIRIENET is better than other service options Dial-up So slow it hurts yer butt to use ISDN / DSL Slower speeds and higher cost Cable Limited availability Satellite Slower speeds and higher cost Very professional! [edit] Not to mention the added high-class humor they threw in.. http://www.newgenwireless.com/images/cowboys.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted December 3, 2004 CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 Anyway with all fun aside, that website made by hillbillies isnt even a stand alone operaton. They are just resellers for Bellwave Communications. ( http://www.belwave.com ) So ... basicaly if they wanted to they could take all their customers money and "ride out into the sunset" and nothing would be done ... but on the other hand since they are a part of a bigger, more professional looking provider (who is owned by AT&T apparently) they could be ....reliable... So its your choice, but IMO id stay right where you are with your DW bastards. Switching would be like going from a car missing a wheel to another with a broken axle. It just doesnt make any sense.

Mr. Hahn Posted December 3, 2004 CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 Though the website may not be of the highest quality, we still have noone here who has experience with them. Like I said, ask those people around town that you say are getting it about the service. They'll be your best source of information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted December 3, 2004 CID Share Posted December 3, 2004 So i guess im better off staying with DirecWay?? 60 bucks / month gives you the "standard" package. 400/128 Kbps you need to ask yourself, what are you using your connection to? If you play multiplayer games wireless is the way to go. If you dont play multiplayer games, and you get better speed with Direct Way do not change.

VanBuren Posted December 4, 2004 CID Share Posted December 4, 2004 hate to disapoint you but the test is not accurate at 579 KB and that speed use the 3 MB test file instead VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
