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....
