Wi-Five - $59.95 - about 10 miles from the tower - uses Canopy equipment. Really excellent service, great installers, friendly office people.
They were a real challenge to find and serve many really small rural towns and remote areas so I hope no one minds if I include where their service is available. I would hate others to be stuck with HughesNet like I am when they could have vastly superior service from Wi-five.
Service plans and coverage areas are at »www.wi-five.com/plans.html - Wi-Five provides service throughout East Texas. Coverage area includes:
* Rockwall
* Royse City
* Mobile City
* Fate
* Seagoville
* Gun Barrel City
* Seven Points
* Blackland
* Crandall
* Combine
* Warsaw
* Scurry
* Kaufman County
* Prairieville
* Mabank
* Munson
* Forney
* Mclendon-Chisholm
* Colquitt
* Terrell
* Kemp
* Poetry
* Lively
* Elmo |

Re: What is your speed, service price, and location and ISP?
Well, my speeds have degraded lately. Last August I reported in this thread that I was getting 8400/1400. But I now realize that Wireless Beehive was just starting out and they didn't have many customers then to use up their available bandwidth..
Now, I just got 4118/643 which is about half what I used to get. I realize however that compared to what a lot of others have reported in this thread, it still isn't bad for fixed wireless, especially for $39.95 per month with no bandwidth cap.
And it's still the fastest we have around here as far as I know. The only other thing we have is 1500/256 DSL for $49.95 per month with a one year contract from Frontiernet. And they are talking about imposing a 5 GB cap. Yikes!
I hope that Wirelessbeehive doesn't continue to oversell their available bandwidth. I called them and they said that they have ordered more equipment and it should speed up again. They said that during peak hours there is a bottleneck sometimes, but they are working on it.

Eagle Communications, Eagle Rural Internet; $54.95 / month. (The identification by the speed test of the ISP as swbell.net is mistaken. I contract with and cut checks to Eagle, not AT&T.)
I do not know what technology is being used to support my service except that it uses an antenna that is about an inch thick and 12" square and is way up on a line of sight pole. The broadcast point is about 4 miles away.
The ethernet like cable from the "antenna" connects to a 1" cube powered by a Motorola labled transformer block. There is a flat ethernet like cable from this cube that connects to the computer. I would appreciate any information you can give me about that. |

Thanks.

2year update :P
Same ISP, same package, same details.
Page 10:
quote:
WISP: ECS IS(Local Only)
Location: Northwest TN
Advertised Speed(my plan): 2MB down / 512KB up.
Price: 59.95/month can go to 3MB down / 512KB up for 10 dollars more a month, but don't see a need to.
Includes: 3 email accounts, home page hosting(not that good), static IP.
Distance from tower: 1/4 mile, line of site, signal was 100/100 on 2.4 GHZ(Canopy), so yeah im close..
Speedtest:
:::.. Download Stats ..:::
Download Connection is:: 1837 Kbps about 1.8 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB)
Download Speed is:: 224 kB/s
Tested From:: »testmy.net/ (Main)
Test Time:: 2007/11/01 - 9:11pm
Bottom Line:: 32X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 4.57 sec
Tested from a 2992 kB file and took 13.345 seconds to complete
Download Diagnosis:: Awesome! 20% + : 29 % faster than the average for host (ecsis.net)
D-Validation Link:: »testmy.net/stats/id-EHT2F7M89
User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.6 (Ubuntu-feisty) [!]
Pings are pretty good, not as good as some, they range around 30-100ms for games. Its a reliable connection, during peak times I usally don't get under 1.4MB down, which is very nice coming from HughesNet.
Overall: Fast Enough Speeds(for me), No FAP(dl limit), pings are good, great support.
EDIT: I noticed alot of people where using SpeedTest.Net, and here my result:
Good Enough for me 3.
