    Okay, just to set the scene : I live in a rented apartment, that doesn't have a phone line installed, and its forbidden to have an antena installed on the property.

    As far as I know, this leaves me with two bband options: Clearwire (which I'm with at the moment, and is frankly rubbish as its blocked VoIP ports and P2P ports) and Ripwave (Its IBB - nuff said).

    Are these my only options?

    If so, it looks like it'll be a 6 week wait while a phone line is installed (and it'll cost me 130 euros for the pleasure!).

    Ive heard that clear wire blocks certian ports all right, so I wont be getting them now so. Have you concidered NTL? not wireless but no phone line needed. I know a few friends that live in appartmants in D15 that have NTL.

    There are ways around the Clearwire blocks and Antennae may be mounted inside a window but not on an external wall or roof or chimney in these cases ...as can an indoor Sky dish.

    If only mate! If NTL was available I'd snap it up straight away, but only NTL TV is available in our appt. in D8, not bband.

    Cheers anyway though.

    Sponge Bob - do you know of a way round the clearwire blocks? If so, I offer you my firstborn in exchange for knowledge.

    For Skype Try port 443 or port 80 connects and maybe open your firewall to allow UDP on those 2 ports as well (only those 2 though) . This will not work if you are running a web server at home whoch may need/grab those two ports

    If you connect peer to peer in SIP use those ports both clients .
