We are in a valley 20 miles north of Colorado Springs, and have had wireless broadband for about four years. In that time we have had three providers, because they keep going out of business. Needless to say, we keep our appendages crossed that our current provider gets enough money to stay in business. I think quite fondly of the homeowner across the freeway who was willing to put up the transmitter so we have line of site access.

Our current provider is reasonably responsive to trouble reports: in fact, he gave his cell phone number to my husband so we could call him on weekends of we needed to report a problem.

This would certainly be a boon to a lot of the artists who use our site as part of their web working; so many of them are stuck on dial up, and uploading large jpegs can take forever or even time out depending on what kind of bottle neck they’re dealing with via their local service providers.

Oh how true. Living in rural Kansas has presented me with challenges to say the least. I am lucky, I guess to have AT&T DSL. However, we had an ice storm in December and my service for roughly 2 weeks in December was lousy at best.
