I have a bit of a problem with my ISP, Pixius.  They've made noises
about wanting me to sign an unacceptable three year renewal contract.
On old technology.  And, while I used to like them a lot, they shafted
some of their customers so I no longer trust them.  If they would just
let me go month to month I'd keep them, but I'm afraid that might not be
an option.  I am in a rural area with no access to DSL or cable and am
currently connected  via antenna to a tower about ten miles away.  They
have newer technology, but I'm too far away to take advantage of it.

Satellite technology is a step down if for no other reason than limited
data.

I've researched "Broadband Q,"   www.broadbandQwireless.com, and they
seem to be pretty good, but their web site is a bit thin on details.  (
I think that they somehow piggy-back onto Sprint wireless.)  They claim
unlimited data at up to 6Mb/sec download rates.

I run two desktops, two TIVO's, a DirecTV, a laptop, and several Apples
of various kinds on my local Wi-Fi.

I  have a friend that uses Sprint with a dongle that plugs into her
laptop.  She's happy with it, but I don't think that would work well for me.

Does anyone know anything about Broadband Q?  Or make suggestions with a
major phone carrier ISP?

TIA,

Dean Kukral
