I asked myself the same question until I started to think about it, they are bursting, I'm sure of it... Kurt Fankhauser WAVELINC P.O.

You cannot do it with 30 clients on an 11A ap. You can if only 2-4 clients are ever busy at the same time. But I'm seeing sustained 2mbit transfers for HOURS to around 20% of my clients. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Neofast, Inc, Making internet easy 541-969-8200 509-386-4589 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -------------------------------------------------- From: "Mike Hammett" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 11:39 AM To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WISPA] how to compete with $15 DSL > Mikrotik, StarOS, or UBNT could all deliver those speeds. > > > ----- > Mike Hammett > Intelligent Computing Solutions > http://www.ics-il.com > > > > -------------------------------------------------- > From: "RickG" <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, March 22, 2010 8:19 PM > To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [WISPA] how to compete with $15 DSL > >> If so, with what equipment? >> >> On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 1:35 PM, Marco Coelho <[email protected]> wrote: >>> Are you delivering that wireless? >>> >>> mc >>> >>> On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 9:08 PM, Jayson Baker <[email protected]> >>> wrote: >>>> That's what we did. $24.95/mo gets you 12Mbps/6Mbps. $49.95/mo gets >>>> you >>>> 20Mbps/6Mbps. >>>> We guarantee minimums--not just an "up to" speed.
