Especially for business check with RNi or other wireless providers. I have
SpeedChoice, e.g. one-way, and though I don't have too many probs with
them, I have more than I should. Depending on how subscribed the sector is
2-way, e.g. Sprint, is supposed to be one of the worst things or pretty
good. If you're in a sector that can't get cable-modem or dsl, you're
probably in an oversubscribed sector.

They've axed the SpeedChoice tech support. I'm told Sprint/Earthlink
really never has had it. Don't know myself.

RNi doesn't care what's downwind of their router (which is a Linux box). I
don't think the other wireless companies I've looked at do either. They,
however, are higher end than 'broadband' :).
