Wisprenn is a choice for you who don't have cable or FIOS runing to your house, ie, people like me that are out in a rural area that has few to no services.
I had Hughes.net and then WildBlue.net. Both are satellite based, so performance is much less than the numbers show because of the tremendous lag time going through the satellite. SO .... expensive and slow and unreliable (the satellite can't see through storm clouds).
Wisprenn, however, gives you a point-to-poimt, consistently fast (no appreciable lag time), and reliable (under the storm cloud cover) connection. Install cost is cheap, they loan you the antenna for free, and prices compete with Hughes and Wildblue for much better performance. I will never go back to Hughes or Wildblue.
Here's how it works: Wisprenn has a tower somewhere in the Hesperia/Apple Valley area. When they come out to your house, they will determine if you can see the tower from your rooftop. If they can't, no harm done, they go back home. If they can see the tower, you pay a nominal charge to install the antenna, then pay month-to-month, no contract. Couldn't be sweeter.
GO FOR IT!
