[MLB-WIRELESS]Wireless experiments-Melb WISP

[Matt Pearce]

It might also be of interest to people that Alphalink are now offering
Wireless ISP services in some of the inner city suburbs.  While I think the
concept is a good idea, they have no control over who else connects a
wireless lan up in the area, and with the limited number of channels I am
sure they will run into problems soon.  Also in saying this it looks like
they are using the 8dbi omni's from the TIB a while ago to put onto clients
house, I also dont think this is a very good idea due to the nature of an
omni (sending the signal everywhere and not focused where it needs to go).

Alphalink also do not guarantee this service, and also say that while you
can get up to about 500KB/sec from it if there is basically no one else on
the link, no interferance etc.

What does everyone else think ??
