Brad,
I received our modem from BridgeMAXX and tested on Thursday last week.
We were located about 1 mile from their tower in Rexburg, Idaho. We had
full signal (all lights on top of the modem) while indoor.
We ran several speed tests to Salt Lake City and Seattle. We purchased

Hello Travis,
Well now, this really doesn't come as any surprise, does it? grin
I can easily get those speeds driving along nearly any interstate in the
country at 80MPH with my Sprint Data Card.
Again, the cellular providers will dominate the mobile user market if only
simply because they
I would agree... the cell phone companies will dominate the roaming
market. The only advantage right now in Rexburg is the limited speeds
provided by the cell companies... they are probably closer to 150kbps,
and are more expensive (around $50-$60/month for unlimited). BridgeMAXX
is at $39.95
DBC uses 2.5 GHz. They did not exist as an operator one year ago. They
are a start-up that raised money. Nothing prevents WISPs from doing this
sort of thing too Travis and I know a few WISPs who are in fact doing
this very thing.

Kinda funny.the video says it delivered perfect service in the park while
only pulling up about a third of the www.localnews8.com website over several
seconds. Now compare that video to pulling up www.localnews8.com yourself.
It leaves quite a bit to be desired when comparing broadband services.
I just ordered service from them so I can test... we'll see how their 2
meg speed holds up.
The other funny thing about the park scene is that the modem has to be
plugged into something to get regular 120VAC power... they kind of
forgot to mention that... LOL. Get internet anywhere you

Hopefully Patrick, you haven't forgotten who your talking to.
