I thought Vivint only had their 50Mbps for $50 plan. After seeing what they have done so far, I’m surprised they are still making an attempt to continue.

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.

The police can use whatever they want or can afford like the rest of us. Always astounds me how much many WISPS complain about others using the free and unlicensed bands. Damn they opened more spectrum recently and if you cant make it work for you maybe you are not doing it right. I doubt many of you have the noise border towns like mine has and never once have you heard me complain about non Wisps using these bands. If we get noise we make changes. We tried 900 recently on mtn and it didn't work. We installed a small POP to service the area and moved on.

Check out the uptilt on that second radio. There is less than 40ft difference in elevation. I'm sure they will run them responsibly with only the channel width they need and sane power levels, right? Right? Nothing to worry about. -Ty -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
