So you work for this company. I assume they plan to pay you.

No, wait. I just posted and screwed it up.

Damnit!

In the list of solutions that include Wi-Max, Wi-Bro, and upgrade to Motorola's Canopy; CDMA also belongs on that list.

They blanket entire towns with WiFi service. There are some cool spots where one would need a bridge to get better signal indoors. I drove over to the active area and did a bandwidth test and got about 500 Kbps - 700 Kbps.

They insert a banner ad at the top of the browser window.

Would you sign up for free ad-supported WiFi?

Given that one reason I use Firefox is for the Adblock extension which allows me to eradicate banner ads, I wouldn't touch this service.
