Works Great In Seattle

I just can not see using anything else. WiMax solves the security problems we have all been made aware of regarding WiFi and you get essentially TV antenna speed for Internet access. It makes watching You Tube a joy.

So why are there still roll outs of WiFi in the US? It just looks so much like dumping. Right now I can WiMax from Gig Harbor to Everett from my car or boat or from the hotel. The WiMax antenna is the one thing my wife and I argue about when one of us is traveling the area. There is just so much of a difference in comparison to WiFi.

There are some tricks you need to know. You can be at a place where you can see the WiMax tower but if you point the antenna in the exact opposite direction, reception can be spotty. I wonder why that is. Why is only one side of the boxy antenna active?
