Wireless Data Stick in Quebec

[alfred.s at nexicom.net]

Usually these Sticks are Capped at 500 Megs. I got a Hub from Telus, 
and it is Capped at 3 Gigs per month, it can take 15 Computers with 
wifi and two Telephones, and Lan Cable, connects to the Local 
Microwave Tower. You can either use your dial-up IP, or you can use 
Telus as an IP.  If you are far away from a tower you can use either a 
Cantenna or a Yagi Antenna, to get more Signal Strength.
