I am on RapidWave, and have been for about 6 months or so. Beats the crap out of Comcast. When I first moved out to Saratoga, I ran a wifi from Pleasant Grove to Saratoga for about a month. The wifi link only added about 3-4ms and I got pretty close to 22Mb/s throughput(half duplex). I went ahead and hooked up RapidWave just to try them out since I was very skeptical about a wireless provider. I ran both networks for about 3 months and RapdiWave ALWAYS came out on top.
I saw outages from comcast about twice a week and RapidWave none. I also play FPS games(latest COD6) and always have excellent ping times. I am only a few miles from the tower which probably helps, but so far it has served me very well. I do no know how to get to the module stats though. -Rob On Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 5:07 PM, Ryan Simpkins <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, February 5, 2010 23:48, Ryan Simpkins wrote: > >From my node it is even worse.
