I have heard from some (I was looking into this service last month.) that
the connection speed is horribly unreliable, and at many points it was
slower than a 56k dialup.  I'm sure this was in part due to the newness of
the service, but I would be especially curious and try to speak with someone
in their technical department who knows the pros and cons.  Or maybe just
someone in general who deals with wireless broadband.  (try
www.turbowave.com, I know they offer service in Utah, etc.  And it seems
very consistent.)

Thanks for the link, but look at the prices at that site!!  I am just outta
college man!!  he he.  :-).  Sprint broadband definately has great prices,
just want to know if service is even close to good.  Don't think I can
afford RNI.
