I have no desire to enter into this flamewar, but I wasn't aware that Verizon even offered high speed wireless. I've used the sprint wireless stuff and it was too slow to be useful and had 2-3 sec latencies. not really useful for ssh unless you want to be reminded of a Citatel BBS with a 300 baud modem. It did have great coverage though.
But 1-2 mbs is an entirely different beast, I've been able to run X over my wireless connection at home. So I guess my question is isn't it quality(nycw) vs coverage(verizon/sprint). Not that I'm trying to compete with either, I just think it's fun to set up a node, and it feels good to help people, plus others have donated bandwidth and AP's in places I like to hang out. -- Daniel On Wed, 14 Aug 2002, Bon sy wrote: ]On Wed, 14 Aug 2002, Terry Schmidt wrote: ] ]> In comparison though some things move faster, and we have more integration and ]> communication than large companies.
