Yes I do know and that's part of the reason NuSkope are successful.
Adam are utilising a wireless platform that attempts to strongly adhere to an (albeit partly unclear) industry standard, using regulated spectrum frequencies, and typically place their antennas on shared (telco) towers. Wimax is just a trade name and not a technology as such. The technology can work in conditions where there is not a clear line of sight.
This all means it's a relatively expensive and highly regulated exercise.
NuSkope are essentially using unregulated frequencies and are not bothering to adhere to the wireless standards as they are essentially providing a wifi network to deliver a WAN, using relatively inexpensive equipment that you and I could buy quite comfortably and deploy if we had the know how. They have built their own towers and utilise their own fibre for backhaul. WDSL is just their marketing and they utilise Ubiquiti AirMax equipment. Consequently, they require a clear line of sight to ensure a successful wifi link.
This means they have much lower costs, are more agile and don't have the regulated hassles that Adam do.
It's a clever model that delivers to an ever emerging niche market. They've been around for about 7 years so they're not fly by nighters either.
A few months old but an indication of why Adam's Wimax has had issues. Backhaul has been one of the causes of the degradation of performance over time.
http://www.itnews.com.au/News/354201,ii ... aints.aspxNuSkope, on the other hand, can deploy 'just in time' hardware on their network to expand as demand expands, provided they manage their backhaul capacity which they have successfully managed to date.
Both services are essentially stop gap until the NBN gets full penetration, but with that utopia maybe taking up to 10 years, it's a long time to wait if you can't currently get a DSL service or its a poor one.
So, an NBN service will be the best, followed by a good DSL service if you can get it. NuSkope's WDSL is not available everywhere but if you can get it I believe it ranks above any consumer ADSL service. If you can't get NuSkope but can get Adam's Wimax then that would be the next best option.
Just a note on my NuSkope service, I pay for a 12 Mbps down / 1 Mbps up connection, but get a steady 15 / 2.8 service. If I wish to, I can get up to a 25 /10 service. This is not something you can generally do on Wimax.
I doubt you'll get many, if any, Adam Wimax customers on a connection like this. If there is I'd like to hear about it.
