Answering a question with a question? Boooo ;) However my question may 
have been taken the wrong way so I'll elaborate. Do the wireless POPs 
still consist low-end commercial grade 2.4 Ghz APs? What CPE's do the 
clients get? What is the average range from a POP that customers can get?

I'm sure there are others on the list very much interested in hearing 
more details also.
