I have just heard that our ISP is offering a wireless transmission service called Perkinet, but I have few details. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it a good alternative to telephone dialup? We've never had good results from the phone lines, so I'm wondering if Perkinet is a good alternative. I'm anxious to find out more, but of course it's Sunday, so I'm hoping you folks can fill me in. It's likely to be 18 months until the Ashland Fiberoptic Network extends to our house, so I'm considering Perkinet as a quick fix. Our ISP's web site has a little bit of info, but doesn't answer all my questions: Does Perki net usually have usage limitations (currently we're limited to 8hrs/day on our 56k dialup)? The web page says $29.95/month for Internet service including cable modem, plus "basic wireless cable" rate. How much does wireless cable normally cost? It says that they've teamed up with WanTV to provide the service. Does this mean that we'd get both cableTV and Internet services in the package? Do any of you have experience with Perkinet and if so, do you recommend it? What are its shortcomings?
