Internet Connections for a company clearwire
I have a question. Why cant a company use a service like clearwire for their maine egress point out of the building. the data rates are decent and they have unlimited data. Is there a max number of end users for something like that? They have a 6mb download speed to where a t-1 is 1.5Mb.

If the OP is really wanting a cheaper, possibly faster service than a switched circuit and can absorb any potential downtime issues then at least go with DSL or Cable. I've seen many small office go with a 'business' plan using ATT Uverse, to Charter cable to Comcast, etc. Just don't go with wireless.

I am actually using it as a backup connection as part of my design just to be able to send some data out to our main office utilizing a site to site VPN. I was just recieving questions as to why we dont use it for our main line. I know it is a very bad idea just had a hard time explaining it.
Any exerience with Microwave technology for wireless connections?

Reliability would be my main reason. A backup circuit must be available when the main isn't so it'd be best to pick the most reliable transport means available.
never used Microwave.. but I get the feeling the equipment would be expensive and teh throughput low.

Thanks your comments were helpful
I didn't see anything on their website stating that a business couldn't use their services. But still I would not recommend a business using wireless internet access as their primary source.
