mmmm... sorry i'm a n00b - you'll forgive my naivety...
Anyway - has everyone forgotten what it was like when DSL first came out? Or were you still in nappys??? (haha). basically it was cr@p - it got much the same comments that you are giving woosh now. I use woosh and find it sweet - in fact I have both dsl and woosh at home. Much, much better DL on woosh than DSL... (of course, I can see the tower from my window)...

Having used a woosh to try to SSH to a server, I concluded that it is crap. - latency spikes all over the place, and packet loss is bad. Doesnt matter what the technology is promising, the current retail product is _bad_ - I would even call it useless. The SSH was better over dialup. This is with 4 lights on the modem and the helpdesk pleb describing the signal numbers in the USB application as great, in a CBD fringe location with the radio sitting on a windowsill.

sheesh - everybody is going on about 5.8, 2.4, Wired Country, wifi, blah blah blah - well heres news for you... its PUBLIC SPECTRUM which means eventually you'll all be interfering with each other and it will turn to sh!t!! Its already happening with 2.4 - just try to find a free channel in the CBD. |
Wired country have bought rights to use 3.5, as have BCL from what I understand (that may not be the case) - this spectrum is legally protected against intentional _and non intentional_ interference - 2.4, 5.1, 5.3 and 5.8 are only protected against intentional, and then you have to prove it etc.

Woosh owns its own spectrum which means, it can only get better.... |
Well the only way it could get worse is by not working at all, and even then, I dont think that would be worse.
