<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style">Last week I called a wireless intern=
et
provider, Clearwire, and asked them for a signal test, as I am out of thei=
r
advertised service area. A knowledgeable techician came out and found=
a
location for the modem in my second-floor home office where the signal
strength is way fine. Upload speed is advertised at 256k, download at=
up
to 768k for $35/mo, and 256k/1.5meg (which I signed up for) for $7 more. T=
he
first three months are even cheaper, if you sign up for a year (which I wa=
s
glad to do).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style">Pages now load almost instantly. A
nine-meg file which I download every week, which always took an hour to an=
hour:ten, now takes 49 seconds. Not as fast as cable (7 secs) but after ye=

of playing solitaire while pages loaded, enough to make me squeal like a
little girl. </FONT></DIV>
