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. jor "Frank St. Claire" <fstclair@airmail.net> wrote in message news:n9j5tssr69tpg9urei44n85rq5kib5j5b5@4ax.com... > Read before you sign up.
