Ok, i'm going to be blatantly scathing here but if someone wants a
chuckle, browse this site:-

http://www.wrbb.net

From the front page:-
"browse the internet at speeds of up to 54Mbps"

But then later when you read into the tarifs, they mention that this
54Mbps is the maximum link rate which of course will NOT be the same as
their pipe to the Internet.

"1. What do I need to use Sunshine?

If your PC is already equipped with a WiFi network interface then you
are ready to connect to wrbb.net. WRBB is Operating System neutral - if
your equipment (PC or router) supports WiFi then it can connect to
wrbb.net. You can use Windows, Linux, FreeBSB, Mac OSX, BEOS, Palm, etc.
on your PC, or a dedicated WiFi router."

Right, so let me get this straight? I have a built in WiFi card in my
laptop and I'm going to be able to get a signal when sitting in my
house, from an antenna 1km away all with 100mW EIRP? Ok, someone hasn't
worked the sums out!
