After 10 minutes reading their site and FAQ, I still could not
understand the service and how it works. Luckily I found a link
(on the site) to:

http://www.govtech.net/digitalcommunities/story.php?id=97229

"Wireless Nomad, using their own DSL service as backhaul, installs custom-built meshing Wi-Fi access points on the premises of each 
of the co-op's members or subscribers. These provide each member with a wired DSL connection, an 802.11g wireless local area 
network, and high speed wireless roaming throughout the areas in the city covered at no extra charge."

The rest of the article explains how the service works.

Very interesting. But I hesitate because I know something
always screws up when I change phone/internet (maybe it's
intentional, on the part of the telco/cable co's, so that
you don't make a habit of switching to better deals).
