Q. How is wireless Internet
different from Cable Internet or DSL?
A. First, unlike these
services, wireless has no wires from the street to your house. Our
wireless Internet is not limited by a physical connection to a
cable or phone network. If you have clear line-of-sight to either
the Dye St. water tower or to the Fleming-Mason tower on
Elizaville Rd. and live within 5-7 miles of either location, you
can probably get our service. Second is speed. both Cable and DSL
have fast download speeds but upload speeds are typically far
less. Our wireless Internet has excellent speeds in both
directions.
Q. How fast is this service?
A. Our wireless Internet
operates at speeds up to 50x faster than a standard 56k dial-up
connection. If you are tired of downloading web pages, music,
games and videos at sluggish speeds, then our wireless service is
for you!
Q. How quickly can I get
wireless Internet service from Fleming-Mason Service Corporation?
A. Since we bypass other
local cable or phone companies and we are the only company you
deal with, our average time to get your service installed is less
than 1 week.
Q. What hardware will I need
to connect to your wireless Internet?
A. A computer and a Ethernet
adapter. If your computer has an integrated network adapter we
recommend that you replace it in order to maximize your speeds as
some reduction in service levels could be experienced.
Q. How safe is this service?
A. We utilize frequency
hopping spread spectrum equipment for our network. It operates on
the Industrial, Scientific & Medical ("ISM") band at
2.4 GHz. This is often the same frequency used for garage door
openers and cordless home telephones. The customer premise
equipment ("CPE") is high security, high frequency and
low power.
Q. Isn't this the same
as Satillite?
A. No! Satellite transmits
over thousands of miles creating delays known as latency. Our
service utilizes local towers within 1-10 miles of the CPE which
eliminates virtually all delays.
Q. For your 56k dialup service, what are the dialup numbers?
A.
