When there are 3 or 4 other wireless providers, cable, and two DSL providers, as well as 5 fiber-optic providers, the numbers don't add up. They are using Alvarion 2.5ghz licensed, and they are still having to roll a truck and do an outdoor install on a large percentage of their customers. I heard CPE was $400 each and they are doing free installs right now.
And their network is awful... I have one of their modems for testing, and the latency is between 60-100ms and speeds are all over the place from minute to minute. It's funny, because I just got a call today from a current BridgeMaxx customer that is ready to pull her hair out. They are trying to run a small business (5 computers) and most of the time they can't connect at all.
