and heres from lappy (connected to linksys, which is connected to 
clearwire router)

--- www.l.google.com ping statistics ---
8 packets transmitted, 8 received, 0% packet loss, time 7006ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 52.471/59.361/65.800/4.417 ms

as far as bandwidth, i can get multiple downloads doing over 100K each 
(probably 200-300k total), uploads cap at about 30K total. 

Uptime is actually pretty decent, the linksys wrt54g is less reliable 
than the clearwire router. 

Since i cant drive and use the comptuer at the same time, i cant say how 
well that works, but I have had it setup in the car, and pulled over, 
opened the laptop and just used it...

the cost/benefit of the technology works pretty good for me right now... 
hopefully today, i will get a cell phone that can actually tether to a 
laptop, and i'll see how well that works... i'll have to read up in 
wimax and see what thats all about....
