[sclug] Wireless Broadband in Slough and Windsor areas

[James Packham]

I think you've got a point, we use a small wireless provider at work and
to be frank the latency is pretty crap. They only serve a small area, so
can't really afford to buy a decent leased line. Result is that lots of
people end up fighting for little bandwidth. 

User, bandwidth ratio was also a problem when I worked for a slightly
larger wireless ISP a couple of years ago. None of these companies are
the one in Windsor/Slough by the way, just passing on personal
experiences :)
