To answer the questions about conduit. Yes it's sort of in conduit. They ran 1/2 inch pvc. Running fiber by using the existing cat 5 to pull is an option I hadn't considered. However pricing fiber out here (Ecuador AND rural even by Ecuadorian standards), it may be cheaper to just bust up the curbs and/or stick in DSLAMs. Another alternative since the ground is flat and the houses are spaced at a fairly even distance may be just to build a wireless mesh network and call it good. I was kind of hoping to reuse the existing infrastructure if possible though.
If you were to build a wireless mesh network in a 32 home subdivision what access points would you use as repeaters? I'm looking at the venerable Linksys WRT54GL and thinking throwing a custom firmware would be a good option, but that thing is getting a bit long in the tooth. On Tue, Mar 12, 2013 at 4:40 PM, S.
