Hi Bruce, I have been using Wind and have done some testing in that area. Signals are good near Paerson and south of it on 401; however they start to do down as you go North or East from Pearson. I clocked about 7-8Mb down near 427/Dixon through 427/409 but on 409 I had bad signals resulting very low speed.
One bad thing I have noticed that I am never able to get upload more than 350Kb; looks like they have it locked here in Toronto (In Ottawa I was able to clock it at 9Mb Down and 3Mb Up). I am not sure about the stick as I am using Wind's sim in my cell-phone/mobile-computer (N900) and did these tests using it but I think they have locked it for them all. Reza might be able to confirm if he was ever able to get uploads more than 350Kb. Having said the above, I think Wind won't be a good choice for using 15 simultaneous channels. It would be best to try it first before buying stick, as Reza already offered to load one.

No problem. The only reason I did not push more phones in the test is because I ran out of power supply/extension chords. You are welcome to borrow my Mobilicity and test drive. If I were you, I would go with Rogers Stick as they have the highest speed so far. We also tested the phones at a business networking meeting running 5 phones through Rogers Stick, running at full Ulaw. We did not have any problems. Keep in mind, the standing calls were short, under 5 minutes. The standing calls on my Mobilicity and Windstick was over one hour. It would have likely gone for longer duration if I didn't put my coffee in the microwave (not kidding!). As soon as Microwave was turned on (close proximity to the 3G sticks), the connections went dead. Hope this stat helps you out. Cheers! Reza. PS: Speaking of 3G sticks and 3G Wireless routers that we are circulating, there are approximately 10 in circulation within the TAUG community. I need them back guys, to put it back in the loaner pool. Please make an effort to return them to me or drop them off at any 3 of my designated retail outlet drop zones. -- * *FOUNDER & SR.
