wireless internet

[rosco-]

 Hope this is the right forum  

 Living in the sticks, I suffer from slowinternetites, Its a really annoying disease and i have a rare case "19.200" There is hope of a cure on the horizon though.

 There is a company, Storm internet, and they offer a variaty of high speed internet options. Only one available to me would be wireless. Does anyone use wireless and would it work ok with AH? Its a bit pricy IMO, 400 bucks start up fee and 40 bucks a month after that for around 100k. I know all you cable and DSL users may think thats a ripoff for only 100k, but for now its my only other option. And after all this time at 19.2, 100k would be smoking! If it wouldnt be any good for AH though, I wouldnt be interested.

Any opinions?

what does it use?
satellite?
microwave?
midgits on bicycles?


satellite will be horrid for gameplay due to the fact that there will be massive latency, microwave will be better.

I would see if I could check it out before I spent the money.

See if they can show you a demo or something and run a trace to HTC.  Make sure you get a reasonable ping time with no packet loss problems.

Also, be sure that weather won't affect it.
