dn0 Posted November 16, 2005 CID Share Posted November 16, 2005 I like the claim of no bandwidth limits. They basically yell it out on their site, so it hopefully is true. Will beat the heck out of the DWay FAP issues. Are you going with the high (2.5/512) residential plan? They actually give a guaranteed minimum speed: http://www.unitewireless.com/faq.html#11 11. Please explain "Upload/Download" speed. Download is the process of information coming from someplace else to you. When you browse to a web page, you are "downloading" that page. When you get a file from some place on the internet, you are downloading that file. Upload is the process of sending information from your computer onto the internet. The most common upload for most users is the simple request to "download" a new web page. Our technology provides consistence speed for up to 10 miles from central service area. The download and upload speeds listed are burst rates. Unite Wireless policy on burst rates is based on industry (Cable and DSL) policies with regard to speeds listed. We cannot guarantee that results from popular online tests will result in the speed listed on a particular package. We strive to provide as quick a service as possible and will always work to make the test results as close as possible to the rate listed. Business packages are not based on burst rates and should always show the rates listed. Our guaranteed minimum download rates for all packages are listed below. Remember that our guaranteed speeds are superior to most DSL and Cable providers. Be careful not to purchase internet service from providers that DO NOT publish their minimum guaranteed speed. Promo/Starter = 128K/64K Basic = 256K/128K Gamer = 384K/128K Premier = 512K/384K Ultimate = 756K/512K T1 = 384K/384K T2 = 756K/756K T3 = 1.5M/1.5M T4 = 3M/3M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn0 Posted November 16, 2005 CID Share Posted November 16, 2005 That sounds like a decent deal for a wireless option. I am assuming that you are in a rural area? (btw, I edited my last post) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
