[olug] [OT] Delay of Cox mail??

[Trent Melcher]

Depending on your location,  there is Microlnk (Wispair).  They are a
wireless internet provider.  I have been using them for a while now and
have been satisfied with them.  While they were Wispair they had a very
nice routed netowrk (Thanks Neal)....when Microlnk aquired them they
started flattening out the network,  congestion got to be an issue for a
while, but a couple months ago they started segregating it again.
Congestion has been almost eliminated, at least on my leg of the
network.

I have only had latency issues twice and that was while we were having
those 50 mph wind storms in the spring.  They advertise 256Kb
up/down....but I have been seeing rate from 500 - 700Kb,  which isnt bad
even for online gaming.

I've had a problem both receiving and sending email. I wonder if the
virus scanning and spam scanning processes aren't what is causing the
hold up. I don't know if they scan outgoing mail for spam or virus but
if they do then that could be part of the problem. 

It's almost enough to make me look for another high speed service
provider . . . However it's NOT enough to make me go to MSN/Qwest! Are
there any other options for HS connections?
