Here's a coverage map...

I have my opinions about this...

[PSiedTSi]

im not sure its gonna be a good thing

[KA-T_240]

whats the difference between gateway and radio?

[Bryce]

Its better then letting Cable One rape us.

I'm for it.

[Jim]

For what Cableone charges, they don't rape us. Moorhead's wireless will be roughly 1mbps to the net.

Ever realize that there are only so many channels that are available in a particular radio spectrum, so if thier service fucks with my wireless at my house (I already have two other AP's besides mine in range from neighbors), i'm going to be irate.

[StangerBanger96]

My house falls exactly in a....whatever the area between 2 circles that are partially in the other is called. So we'd have Gateway coverage and Wireless Radio coverage...whatever that means?

[PSiedTSi]

i agree with jim...are they gonna be using like a standard 802.11B/G protocol?

[integra_gsr98]

I built a network with a coverage map that was larger than that and extended out over 15 miles. For a private service they should be using something in a licensed spectrum so that you must buy hardware from them to get on their network, but who knows exactly what they did.

[amicheze]

yeah.. theres no way youd be able to use 802.11x for something like that.

[Guest]

who uses the internet nowadays anyways?

[SmitEvo]

So basically you need to buy there bridge or rent it from them?

yeah you could...itd be simple

[amicheze]

lemme rephrase that. you could.. but it probably wouldnt be the best idea.

[supreme_style21]

Did any of you guys use Monet wireless when they were around?

[Jim]

i did

[PSiedTSi]

i did too

[91nbtsi]

So we get a cheap wireless internet service, and most of you are going to piss and moan about it? I don't get it. Just keep on cable one then, or move to Fargo(which I am sure they will be getting wireless in the near future as well).

[PSiedTSi]

the sad thing is i am moving to fargo oh well i guess i have no choice to stay with cable one
