I use Clearwire ( http://www.clearwire.com/ ) and I have been happy with
their service. The only problem I noticed is that certain services are
shared across the network, much like being on a local LAN, or like
cable-based ISP. So, a router, even for just a wired network, is a
must. You can pick them up cheap at Nextstep Recycling, and the vast
majority are simply plug-and-play (under normal setups).
Thanks,

Hello,
My father lives in your area and is a beginner at computers,
internet, the whole works. At 79 he wants to get online and begin
learning. I applaud him. He will have a dual boot computer with
Windows and Ubuntu. I live in Alaska and I've done extensive reading
about ISP's working with Linux and it doesn't look good. They require
Windows to set up the service. That is why he has Windows. He will be
using Ubuntu for all of his tasks including internet after he is online.
I need to know what ISP your local members are using and if Ubuntu
will work online after the setup. It looks like Comcast and Qwest are
the only choices there. They also want unlimited long distance and are
ready to switch providers. They are paying $90 per month for unlimited
long distance only.
That's way out of line.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
T. Gregg
