Not in Vermont, but have had WB since 08/06 and Have used SUSE Linux and multiple computers/router without difficulty. Whereas it is true that there is no official support for anything more than one computer and MS, they (WB) do not need to know this if you are not reselling the bandwidth to others.
If you understand what you are doing but encounter a Hardware failure (my TRIA failed in the first 4mos) when asked which OS you are running simply say XP. Put up with the nonsense questions about viruses and reboots and constant recycling the Modem (Once off and back on should be always have been tried any way) until they authorize a service call.
Good installation is a must, do not accept a roof mount unless there is no other option. A strong metal pole anchored in concrete is the best way to ensure stability.
Good luck if you go with WB! As a option to Dialup it has many advantages. |
