After all, it's not like the mobile network was primarily designed for telephony...

I was asking a genuine question, because I don�t know.

If wireless solutions are as good as �fixed� services why don�t more seem to use them ?

I'm not exactly sure so far how their network works. Obviously it's wireless and they do have a series of masts around the area but beyond that it's a bit sketchy what protocol is used over the air to the premises. UBNT kit was mentioned in an article but they offer a wide range of devices. Will know more this morning.

Possibly because they are relatively slow compared to even VDSL2 and FTTP in that the maximum speed offered is 40Mbps. But around these parts where FTTP installations are limited, they offer a rural site a good option.

AIUI it�s not so much the speed, it�s the latency that made it unsuitable. But happy to be told otherwise.

Well that's the biggest let down since Carrie said she wouldn't go to the prom with me. Yes sir, whilst you are clearly shown as in our service area, we don't have an access point pointing in that direction and we're just gathering interest. So we're not really in your service area? Silence...

They are going to send an engineer out to do a site survey because they are relatively close to their main transmitter.

This does give an idea of what technology they are using - something like the UBNT airFiber range with a narrow transmission beam off a mast. However, I thought these devices had a very narrow beam, i.e. pointing at each other. Or does the area spread out maybe over a 1km at distance?

Talk about a company going to "yeah" to "naa" in such a short period. I've just given them four postcodes of clients who want better internet in their so-called "Service available" area and not one of them can get Vispa.net

Was tempted to ask "So where *do* you cover?"

Maybe you�ve dodged a bullet there ?

VOIP works perfect over Wireless broadband. The additional latency is very low, and nothing at all like satellite.

OK, thank you for the info John ....

sounds from the OP like they cannot offer service yet anyway.
