I am new to this group and have not lurked so excuse me if my posting is not
appropriate. I signed up with Sprint BB Wireless as soon as it became
available in Tucson, in July of this year. I gotta say, I am satisfied with
the basic service. Initially, I didn't get the kind of bandwidth I expected
but I did some of the Registry tweaks suggested here and there and now have
a very fast connection. I also put five of them in at work and they are
performing well. My only complaint thus far is with the ISP, Earthlink. For
five years I was with a local ISP, relatively small with about 10K members.
The service was personal and very good. I have found Earthlink to be a
typical huge ISP with less than adequate response to user inquiries. e.g. I
haven't been able to access my homepage (probably forgot my password) so I
sent Support a mail. Support answered the next day with an automated
response indicating they had received my inquiry. Since then, four days ago,
nothing. So... you get a bland, corporate ISP which is offset by very fast
Internet connection.
