I have cable, and my speed on the bandwith meters is usually around 1.5
mbps*. It's about $40 or $45 per month, and is down only a few hours a
month, maybe 1 or 2. The wireless stuff, if it's the 802.11 stuff, is bad
news. It's still a pretty massive security risk, so you'd be better off with
cable or DSL.
*I really don't know what this is supposed to signify. My download speeds
range from 200-300 kbs. The very slowest of sites give me about 20 kbs.
And this isn't part of the answer to your question, but one of my own. On
this Winbox, with the same connection setup as my Linbox, I get about 60
kbps from the Mozilla site, where my Linux machine gets roughly 4-5 times
that, at any time of day. Why would that be?

Has anyone on this list heard about a fixed wireless internet
connection? I believe the speeds are right at 1 Meg.
Also, I don't use DSL, cable or other connections because of the
pricing. What is the going rate for prices on this kind of stuff now a
days?
