What are the advantages of a wireless Internet
connection?
- It's fast!
- It's always on. That
means that you don't have to dial and connect when you want to
use the Internet. (You don't get disconnected either.)
- You don't need to
use a phone line to connect. Instead of using your phone line
to connect to the Internet, you can use your phone for other things
(like telling all your friends how cool wireless Internet access
is!)
- Did I mention it's
fast?

Can you service my house?
The first thing that we do is a site
survey. We will send someone to your home or office who will check
to make sure that your location has a line of sight to our antenna.
We charge a nonrefundable $25 for this, but that $25 is credited
to your first month of service if you do get wireless service with
us.

Can I keep a modem in my computer?
Yes, you can. You may find that you
don't use it as often, but as long as you have enough room inside
your computer for the network adapter card, you can keep your modem
inside your computer.
