bwt1953 Posted March 14, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 14, 2005 My ISP is a LOS wireless provider SkyNetAccess. I've got a Telex antenna sitting about 2' off the ground next to my front porch. I signed up for 'up to 1500/512'. These guys have been working hard to get this service level up. There doesn't appear to be any real cap in place. I am on a shared bandwidth plan, so as other users get on, it shows. But lately it has been so strong that I don't see or feel any effect. I don't game (right now) so I'm just happy to be able to get mail in and out and tie into my servers at work. I do see an Xbox on the horizon tho. The younger guys, who I work with, are all Xbox freaks and have got me interested in trying it out. I might be sorry tho, still have a 16 year old at home, she'll probably take it over in no time at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just like drugs but better in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwt1953 Posted March 14, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 14, 2005 It's the battle of who's the best and sometimes who has a better connection. Yeah, connection...that's the key. I was just about to get on board about a year ago. I had fiber in the house, then we moved out here and there was nothing. Got on with this wireless thing, and now that it is getting pretty stable, I guess I'll have to try. Also have Adelphia cable available, but I stay away from them. I am getting Verizon DSL in a few days. I'll put my wife and daughter on that. Verizon is in the process of laying fiber in the entire town to each and every home and business, got it in my back yard...just not hot yet. This SkyNet is a local company. It costs 3x the cost of DSL, but as long as they continue to up the service and stay stable, I continue to support them. I don't want to put myself in a position of depending on the whims of Verizon for broadband access. When I had fiber with them in the past, they oversold the network to the point where dial-up was attractive again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
