Isn't this the Wi-Max deal? An up and coming take off, or expansion, from Wi-Fi? Before you know it, paying for internet will bo obsolete for some. :wink: |

Clearwire is a McCaw creation. Remember that was the guy behind Nextel and how much 'problem' he had getting 800 frequencies for his start-up. |

Its 2.5ghz, licensed on the old MMDS frequencies. Clearwire chops it into 5mhz wide channels. The middle of the band is still ITFS and can be sublicensed from local colleges/universities. Many of their customers complain about rate-shaping and port-blocking, not to mention their advertised speeds are very slow and asymmetric. A little slower than DSL and a lot slower than cable. |

Proven false in court when BellSouth was sued. A correctly designed system does not have such problems. Then again, I can only speak for the systems I personally designed.... kj7yl wrote: I do know one thing that no matter how good a service is someone is always going to complain.
An ISP which uses poorly designed rate-shaping and port-blocking is not providing a good service, hence a legitimate complaint. Unless you don't mind getting short-changed on what you are paying for. Many of their Mac customers are unhappy because they port-block ICHAT. Clearwire's RF architecture is good for a basic broadband product. Too bad they got overly cheap on the IP backend. Like many oversubscribed and (poorly) rate-shaped/blocked providers, its penny wise and pound foolish when weighed against the credibility to their customers. I've seen it all too often in this business. |

Yep the Chippys are still on low band though I see many of them are using loaded antennas now instead of the huge fender-mounted quarter waves. |
