If they would go for tp (cheap solution), I would suggest you use ftp
(foiled twisted pair). Tapos, make use of "steel pipe". :-) This is to
reduce interference. Medyo maganda na ito kasi, foiled twisted pair na, nasa
loob pa ng tubo. Another good choice is to make use of multimode fiber. Mas
mura siya sa single mode fiber. This can go as far as 2km. Medyo mahal nga
lang ang splicing. Then just buy TP-to-FX transceiver only if your hub
doesn't support backbone fiber optic ports. But I'm guaranteeing you
reliability since this is immune to noise. Problema ng dalawa, papayag ba
ang subdivision/village na magkaroon ng digging?
