I was thinking of looking into wireless cellular service, but I don't know if I can get it in my area. . . It's one of those things that I will have to know someone else that has it first.

I have Direcway. The advantages are many if you have a lot of users. The cost is reasonable after you buy the equipment ($59 / month). You can increase your speeds and bandwidth by increasing your monthly fee. Freeping is fast, downloads are fairly consistent, but uploads of large photos can be slow (but faster than dial-up).

It is not good for VoIP. You can't use it during severe weather. (2 minutes or so, on and off during a really bad storm.)

Biggest advantage: doesn't have those Sunday evening and 5-7 pm slowdowns.

2nd advantage: lots of user names.

3rd advantage: much easier to manage security.

4th advantage: You will not be giving money to liberals like Time Warner.
