Hey Guys,

Just wonderin what you all thought of Wireless Internet. Was wondering if it is possible to get more than 256K on upload speed.

Yes,

But it really depends on your pipe size on the other end of the wireless link.

Might want to look at www.dslreports.com too see what users in your area are saying about this. You can also see what other users think of the company your looking into.

On my cable line I get 5.0Mbps download and 384Kbps upload. There are other ISPs in my locale that offer 8 down and 1.5 up. Shop around and you should find something you like. If you're in an apartment, however, you may run into difficulty as many have contracts with local providers and using another company may not be an option.
