i disagree. we're over 600 customers now. very few have towers. but we have a lot of rejections too due to weak signals. talk to other wisp companies at wispa - the solution is more towers. well, too many towers and that gets expensive...

When you are in a highly-treed area, you need to do towers or be quick to send customers to a company that does. There's no other easy way to get NLOS.

I'm not sure to be honest, probably need to pull some work orders and find out why. I mean, some of those are in very close proximity! ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2015 12:50 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 25Mbps That's a quite high percentage of failures. Why? Trees and those customers didn't want to pay you to put up a residential tower? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "CBB - Jay Fuller" <[email protected]> Sender: "Af" <[email protected]> Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2015 18:45:56 +0000 To: <[email protected]> ReplyTo: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 25Mbps and this is REALLY annoying.

What do you charge for it? Are there bandwidth limits or is it unlimited? I'm trying to understand how we could reliably provide this service without putting 5-10 customers per AP.
