I have been using WLL (256Kbps) for over a year in Venezuela and can honestly say it sucks. The technology is way too fragile for reliable always-on internet access. Granted, it can be that the morons running the service (Telcel Bellsouth) are just that, morons. But they have to continuously tweak the power levels in my antenna that is in a line of sight with their repeater and well within the distances allowed by the technology. Expensive (as everything in this country), slow, badly-supported. I have to live with it as its the only option in this place. Run, not walk away from wireless high speed internet.
