My local provider has recently issued an offer of a laptop with WiMAX (it's an HP Compaq Presario 6405 something or other... basic machine, but all I require is speakers and the ability to multitask with my browser, a word processor, and irfanview - a fancier Paint-type program).
Now I've read up a bit on WiMAX service, and I've ascertained that it's quite stable within urban areas (there are 124 cities in Canada that currently offer it) and within some rural areas. As I live in the nation's capital and don't much travel outside of it, I'm satisfied with that.
The reason I'm posting is that I wanted to know if anyone has any personal experience with the WiMAX service (it's available throughout Canada and the US) or if there are any bad, evil things I'm not aware of before I sign up for this.
