How fast is the wireless internet? Cowboy.Net wireless residential clients have a total bandwidth of 256Kbps for upload and download speeds, which is approximately 4.5 times faster than dialup internet speeds. The upload speed being the same as the download also dramatically speeds up the data transfer. DSL is limited to 128Kbps upload, therefore your upload would be much quicker with Cowboy.Net's wireless high-speed internet. How does it work? A directional 12"-15"x 10"-12" antenna is placed at your location. This antenna communicates via radio transmissions with our wireless base station. For the computer or computers being provided the service, they only require an ethernet NIC (network interface card). I have heard stories about security problems. Is this true? No, people with access to wireless networks will not be able to see your data, therefore you can rest assured that your sensitive data is safe with us! Is it like satellite internet or satellite TV? No, satellite internet uses geostationary orbiting satellites that span huge distances from the earth's surface, causing bandwidth/speed issues. You wireless signal with Cowboy.Net is picked up from a base station tower located in the cities providing service. Does it cost more to provide service to multiple computers? A residential DSL router with an onboard switch is required to do this and we can provide one for $49.99. If you own your own, you may provide it and do not need to purchase one. There are no differences in monthly rates with multiple computers utilizing the service. Do I need telephone service? No, the service's functionality is completely wireless. There is no need to have a circuit from you to the phone company. These circuits are only required for DSL and dialup internet. Are there any deposits required to start the service? There are no deposits required. All that you pay for are the installation materials and monthly service fee. Do I perform the installation or does Cowboy.Net? Cowboy.Net installers will perform the installation and ensure proper functionality. The customer does nothing! How do I get started with the service? To get started, just take a few minutes to fill out a Site Survey application at one of our offices. This application will give us the information we need to determine whether or not the service will function at your location. The application and visit is FREE! Do weather conditions affect the service? Weather is actually the least concern for wireless internet. A torrential downpour of rain at a rate of 4 inches/hour may decrease the signal level by about a 1/4 of a decibel (dB), which will not cause packet loss. Do I get a public IP address(es)? Does Cowboy.Net block ports? You are provided with a public dynamic IP address. For more, they are $5.00/month. You are not placed behind a proxy server, therefore you can host online games from your home computer without having to worry about crucial network ports being blocked and you can communuicate with other people on the internet with ease. Can I remotely check my e-mail from other computers? With Cowboy.Net, you can check your e-mail from any computer that has an internet connection, even if the service is not provided through Cowboy.Net! For example, if you are at a library, school, or on vacation you can just pull up our website (http://www.cowboy.net/) and check your e-mail using your username and password given to you when you set up your service.
