I have no problem using the spectrum either. I will never complain about the 
use of it. However, I will complain about the irresponsible use of it. Vivint 
Wireless just moved into my area and killed the spectrum. I can barely sell a 5 
Mb plan much less 20 because of all the noise.

With that said, I am completely abandoning the 5GHz realm to avoid these 
issues. There are so many options now that I see no reason to just let Vivint 
have that space. I will be able to offer much higher speeds then them now 
anyway. 

Speaking of Vivint, anyone know how many areas they are in now?

They took one of my customers and made it a hub home. That customer called me 
back within 3 weeks telling me that are in contract with them but still wanted 
me to reinstall my internet because it was faster. They were on a 15Mb plan. 
But because of all the noise I couldn't get them 1Mb. 

Thank you,
Brett A Mansfield
