Re: [Killietalk] New topic- Directway Cost/Restrictions was Bounce

Wireless is here in Northern Va, it's not that great so far.  Limited to 
line of sight and the same things that obstruct satellite obstruct wireless, 
unless you look at the short range(300 ft) or cellular(too expnsive).  I 
have a co-worker who tried the wireless forr 6 months and went with DSL as 
soon as it was available.  He never got the wireless to work properly. but 
it was cheaper than satellite as far as the inital setup cost, but the 
monthly fee was about the same.

I pay about the same for DSL as I did for a second phone line and dial-up!

One more thing on the Direcway, they contract out for their tech support, if 
you can find a number to call.  It's not very good at all if you have 
problems, from my experience.
