Did you try tower stream?  Their wireless isn't quite 100mb, but its better 
than 
going without.  Intra-POP performance should be good, I would think.

Someone already mentioned wifi (802.11), which also isn't 100mb.  I've run 
these 
over long links, and might be able to help you out with some antennas. This can 
be problematic, as the antenna's cause the neighbors to complain.

There is also free space optical technology (can't come up with a vender, but
look for "free space optical"), which is great until it rains, but that might do
the trick. Don't know what it costs, but I think it is "reaonsably cheap".  
These should go quite fast (well, OC3 or so).

Also, don't underestimate the bandwidth of your bookback loaded with 
tapes...;-) 

Hope things are going well, otherwise.
