If you are considering going with Unwired, please be aware that they will
not support you if they smell Linux.
I've had a lot of DHCP issues as their DHCP server that serves my area
around Central Station keeps running out of leases so I get stuck waiting
for a lease to expire for hours on end and they refuse to purge stale leases
from their database.
Anyhoo, you may experience a much better service but I'm happy with it's
bang for buck, however, any sort of real time gaming is out of the question,
I got better latency with my 2400baud modem.

worth trying it out. It would be interesting to hear more details about the
disser's experience. There are lots of factors that can make something
"slow and crap".
Thanks everybody who responded.
I just thought i'd ask because of the negative comment I heard.
Based on some comments I got at work about the service, it seems like I will
go with Unwired (or IBurst through Ozemail).
