Interesting question and site. My provider reports that they are running a Trango system. Whatever that is? http://www.trangobroadband.com/ My understanding is that WiMax is the latest technology with wider range and maybe not even dependend or as dependent on line of site. Sounds like both the Canopy system and your system are very similar. -- Sincerely, Dennis B. Swaney -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: WiFi ISP
Kristina, I, of course, do not know where out here in a soon to be cornfield is. The sort of WiFi connection I have called Airlink tends to be, I think, a kind mom-pop operation. Airlink doesn't advertise. Making it gradually on word of mouth in a mountainous area with pockets of residences unreachable by cable or dsl. I suggest you call your local or most local computer store or service center/vendor or your electronics supply shop. They would know if anyone is hacking a wifi system.

How can I find a WiFi connection to a tower out here in a soon to be cornfield? Kristina now an ebay seller and needing dsl Cliff Kristina, It sounds like Cliff's ISP uses the Motorola Canopy WiMax system. I just signed up with a local ISP that is fielding it here in my area of California; the install is in a couple of weeks. When they were testing to see the signal strength, the connection speed was around 450 Kbps, IIRC, much better than my 28.8 Kbps connection on dial-up, and this was 13.8 miles from their access point on Boomer Mountain.
