I havent pinged it to see how the latency works but so far im tickled
pink with it I could never do this with comcast. This thursday im going
to get out my car adapter with my wireless router and have the wife
drive us around town to see how well it works and try to build a map
with a topo program i have. Ill post the reuslts here maby even atache
the map with it if the groupe mail setting allow it.

Could you give us some numbers? Maybe the last two lines of output
from "ping -c 100 www.google.com"?
My IDSL line from Eschelon says...
100 packets transmitted, 100 received, 0% packet loss, time 99584ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 49.918/52.287/64.784/1.874 ms
Heres ping from my router (linksys, not clearwire):

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

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....
