Initially it wouldn't work well because there was some pretty bad jitter. I turned off a feature that enhanced the speed and it remedied the problem, giving me the solid, low pings and jitter. I hear that the latest software release for my wireless system resolve that problem with the high speed version. As soon as I get my new Freeside server up and running, I'll begin promoting the VoIP usage to my wireless clients. Wireless + VoIP is really the only way to be an ISP or an ITSP. Any other combination results in too much dependence on someone else and not enough profit.
