Have a friend on wireless that is about 15 miles from town. The wireless transmitter is on a grain silo in a small farm town . My friend and his wife had to purchase some sort of antenna in line gizmo that boosted the signal and their wallets contents initially yet their internet is screamin fast !!

I'm trying to decide if I want cable broadband or wireless........pro's or cons of each is what I seek if anyone has time.

Stay safe !

I have dsl and love it, for what that's worth.

I can't give you anything technical...other than it doesn't go down...

I don't know about wireless but RR sure is nice after using dial-up for years.

It's hard to use the cell phone connection after using RR but then again Ya can't drive down the road and use RR.
