It is not "pessimistic". It is my actual experience both as an end consumer and a (potential) WISP admin. And please don't mention "works fine" and "has data ca

  What can I say? My actual experience differs from yours. I have no doubt that there are many fly-by-night operations out there that don't know how to configure their networks properly, but I know of at least two examples that seem to do just fine. There are no significant problems with latency or jitter or lost packets. You seem to take strong issue with data caps. They are unfortunate, but I don't really see any way to avoid that in a wireless environment. Heck, even in a wired environment, I suspect you'll find some limits hidden in the fine print. Even then,the data limit appears to be more of an issue of willingness to pay than any fundamental limitations of the technology: i.e. if customers pay for packages with higher caps, the ISP will have the income to maintain the network to support the higher caps.
