There are definitely good benifits from using your own service.
Nevertheless, there are also benifits from using the competition--you
learn how they do things. This can be especially good with the big
players who are quite good at putting together install kits that are
economical, scale well,
Most (if not all) of your employees should use your service as well.
It's called drinking the kool-aid.
FYI... Coke, Pepsi, Miller and Bud require that each employees'
household only drink their kool-aid.
In NC, a Coke driver was fired for having lunch at a restaurant that
only sold Pepsi.

I use my competitors wireless, as I can not service myself. I can tell
you that I have nothing to worry about, as I never get more than 512k
down, and that is at 2AM. We do cooperate though, and they have hooked
up some of their customers to my service. It does make me feel good
about myself,

mks: No, it's free to them. They have to buy their own radio but
service is free to them. It's one of the bennies of working here.
Other than working for me it's probably the only one :-)
I do but I don't believe it's necessary. It's often just more convenient.

I was customer number 1 on my network. I still use my own connection to
my home. One of my ex-employees used to tell me he liked the fact that I

Agreed. I was the first customer on my service, too...only game in town,
now Qwest and Comcast. I think it is an advantage to experience your own
product, just not necessary
We use our own service which supplies just over 250 users spanning 120
km of the Robson Valley in BC. I cannot stress enough how important

The most fun I have is using my own connection. I always want to make it
better and drool over how fast it is. Sort of like a gear head of broadband
But it doesn't really tell me how well the rest of the network is. For

However, we also have a CableOne connection at our office for testing
connectivity, speed tests, etc. It comes in handy. We also remote

I have some customers on ap's that belong to friendly competitors.
I have my own email and a yahoo account.
If at all possible, I'll always have access to SOMETHING.
