RTP-area local music and culture

 Our interns' apartments came with Clearwire this year. When I was 
setting up their WAPs, I was thinking "hmm, wonder how well it works" so 
I did a bunch of speed tests, and was getting 8Mb/sec or more.

Which seemed pretty awesome, until the interns actually arrived, and 
started actually trying to use the stuff, at which point they were 
getting something closer to oldschool original DSL speeds or worse (i.e. 
in the 300kb/sec range or below), especially during the night/weekend hours.

So after a couple of weeks we switched them back to RoadRunner.
