    Recently moved to the country in our dream home only to find out the the few trees in the neighbors yard really do block the signal from the WISP I was planing on using. 100 feet to the North or South and all is good. Too cold to explore many other options like making them fine tune the signal and running a trial. I like the possibility of getting their 3M/1M but will have to wait and see.

    Picked up Sprint modem from local store and low and behold I can get service using EVDO Rev. A. Figured that the oraange on the map was not very accurate but it worked. Then heard about Millenicom on the forums at DSLReports.com and thought that was a much better option. (i.e. no contract) Since I new that coverage was adequate to be better than dial up and I do not have a hard phone line anyway (remember I had planned on using WISP and Vonage) I ordered the Millenicom modem and router. BAM!! 3days later I am in business. Returned Sprint and told them to cancel service for me.

    I had already had experience with StarBAD back in my early days of computer repair shop I once owned. It was the only thing around for me at the time. We just got DSL and cable service to the town about 5 years ago. Of course now that I am on some decent property with new house I have given up the 5M/1M cable.

    I have been very impressed with this service even though I am about eight miles from the tower. I get about 500 - 700 down with 100 to 200 up. This is without an antenna because I mounted it on the wrong end of the house. I had bad info on tower location. Waiting on better weather before I move it.

    Bottom line for rural customers without any other choice this is an ideal option.

    MBR Router & modem info

    FYI - From what assent has said, there will be a firmware update that will allow us to access some of the modem info from the MBR-400 administration screen.

    Signal strength is one of the things we will be able to access, I am not sure what else is on tap. Apparently the update is expected in a few weeks.
