Some Portlanders are wondering if it is to blame for recent rash of XM radio outages. http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_011609_news_xm_reception.d575a79.html XM radio operates two satellites, cleverly nicknamed Rock and Roll which operate between 2333 and 2344 MHz; when you factor in intermodulation distortion, this could indeed be an issue. The other problem could be that XM finally reduced the power output of their terrestrial repeaters which have been frequently cited by the FCC as broadcasting above authorized power levels. WiMAX vendors have been howling for this to happen for some time and, if it now has, XM could be finding themselves unable to provide the same level of coverage.

I’d be curious to hear if anyone (other than a Clearwire employee) has ever had a good experience with them. Everything I’ve read is completely negative about the slow speeds and bad customer service. In theory I’d love to have their service, but if all they’re offering are slow speeds and bad customer service.. I’ve already got Comcast for that.
