I've also got Sprint ION. The voice is getting better. When I first got it installed it was terrible (echos, dropped calls, call waiting would drop your calls . . .). They have fixed those problems and I have not had a voice issue for two or three months. The data is excellent. Very little down time and consistant 2-3Mbs speed.

How is the voice on Sprint ION? We had reports that data was good, but voice had problems. thanks, Anil -----Original Message----- From: David Rush [mailto:ky0dr@earthlink.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 8:52 PM To: Dan Connolly Cc: kclug@kclug.org Subject: Re: switch from swbell DSL to roadrunner?

And the throughput is great... usually 3 Mbps or more, even through my Linksys router. David
