Megawire has a 40 Mbps fiber connection comming into breslau from there it goes wireless and start hopping. They are implementing a mesh technology, and your speed depends on many factors. Call Tony at megawire. He is supposed to be giving a talk at the lug soon about openWRT on an Ubiquity routerstation. He has some stuff on his blog, http://blog.tonypigz.com/ - they will give you a discount if you do some of the work yourself ;0.<br>I'm almost sure they pay bell for the fibre though. I'll have to check...<br><br><br><br>Joseph Wennechuk<br>

There's I think a number of options available for wireless internet
access in new hamburg. I was the first person to get wireless in new
hamburg many years ago :). Wightman(?) out of Stratford that was
recently mentioned on the list has a tower near the gas stations,
behind stitch graphics. Or they used to anyway - the tower's still
there. There's also a wireless tower on the feed mill in Baden that a
friend of mine uses, I can dig up the name if you need.<br>
<br>
Problem with wireless is that you've got to have line of site and
initial install is a bit of a pain. Antennaes and the like aren't
cheap. Having been on wireless for a number of years I'm much happier
with DSL. However my friend indicated that I think he's getting like
5mbits up and down so maybe it's better than DSL today. And because
the wireless connections typically hook onto a fibre feed, there's none
of this CRTC garbage.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

What about Shaw? Are they pulling the same UBB stuff?<br>
<br>
Does anyone know a Cable provider for the New Hamburg area?
