NextNet Wireless

[Fred Weston]

I had ClearWire with the NextNet CPE.  It worked great when I lived
near one of their towers.  I moved to an area without coverage so I
had to get rid of it.  I took the CPE in the car with me one day and
drove about 4 miles and dropped maybe 20 packets from a continouos
ping.  Needless to say, it works very well even on the go.  The
handoff between towers is seamless and the throughput is very stable
around 1.2-1.5 mbps (they sell it as 1.5).
