Yes I did a search and waffled through the untold threads that occasionly mention whoosh, but is it really that bad ?

480340 2006-08-24 09:21:00 It is really that bad. Unless you're within about a block of their transmission towers (I have a friend who lives about 50m from one of Woosh's cellsites and gets very good service), the service is hopeless. I can SEE the building which the Woosh cellsite is on, but it's about 500-600m away from me and I get hopeless speeds (about 200kbit/s max). somebody (208)

I just rang them and asked where the nearest tower is, it's less than 100m from me....I took a walk and can't see it. This is purely a residential aerea. Could it be a booster tower or something ? the guy I talked too was really happy about me being so close, it scared me he was so happy.

480342 2006-08-24 11:28:00 Well since they have that 30-day money back guarantee, I suppose it doesn't hurt to try it out and see what happens. somebody (208)

Well considering they have had their company bailed out twice already I'm sure they're desperate to get as many customers as they can.
