I learned today that a wireless internet provider is now serving our area. This is different from the cellular service I currently have. They were out last week while I was out of town to do some testing and confirmed that they will be able to serve us from their existing tower about 4-5 miles away. Additionally, they are probably going to locate a new 100' tower exactly 1 mile from my house--and if that doesn't work out I've offered that I'd be willing to negotiate a deal to have it here.

So I'm wondering if anyone else is using something similar and what I can expect in terms of real world speed? They say "up to 11mbs" but I know that's dependent on traffic.
