Wireless Broadband

Hi all,

Looking for experience and opinions here.

My extended family lives in a rural area that does not have any cable or DSL broadband access. One option that I have found for them is Verizon Wireless broadband.

According to the coverage maps, they should have good access to signals.

My questions include:

Have any of you used wireless broadband?

How was the speed?

Any significant issues?

All in all, it sounds like a better option than satellite or multiple phone lines.

While I have not seriously looked into it, I suspect Verizon would be less expensive than an ISDN or T1 line to the farm.

1 more thing, my sister has the option to work from home if she can get fast enough and secure broadband.
