How does Wireless compare to other services such as Cable or DSL?
Wireless is much faster, more widely available in rural areas and is less expensive than DSL. DSL is limited to the copper plant in use by the Telco. Wireless speeds range from 500kps up to 3000kps ( a T1 is 1544kps). Because of saturation and over-subscription DSL usually cannot attain speeds beyond 500kps. As for Cable, It is faster than Cable access, capable of full T1 speeds in both directions. Easier to upgrade, doesn’t rely on a wiring system with many potential points of failure. Not as proprietary. Doesn’t require a basic service package to obtain. Is available in many places where Cable data hasn’t arrived and isn’t likely to.
