This is well out of your budget for this project, but we recently put up a BridgeWave 80GHz with 2' antennas. Nice gear aside from the rinky-dink ODU enclosure. Pretty amazing to see a product at that price level with a plastic single edge housing seal with one center thumb screw holding the lid

It won't get you to 1Gbps, but Trango has their Giga links on sale for about $10k. That is 100Mbps full duplex, then another $1500 gets you a software upgrade key to 300Mbps full duplex. That would be a licensed link at 18GHz. (let us know what you end up with) On April 30, at 10:14 AM

So what types of rates would be appropriate for a metered broadband service? It obviously depends on what your costs are. I'll just throw something out to start a conversation, not necessarily reflective of any costs. $2/gig transferred, no other costs or limits. $10 base, $1.50/gig

Half my customers have pulled less than 1G since April 16 or so when I started tracking it. I'll be optimistic and think they would all do 1G per month. I don't think I am going to drop a $33 per month customer down to $2 per month. I might consider $30 base and $2/G over X/Gig, but I haven't

Hi, Although it's a great thought, I don't think "metered" broadband will ever catch on in the US. Even the cell phone companies are moving to an "unlimited voice/data/SMS package for only $99" service pricing. My power company will do a "level-pay" program on my power after being activated

Question: If you are privately owned and have received no federal (or otherwise) money for your network AND it is spelled out in your contract, could the FCC actually tell you you have to run wide open / allow any app? If so, where would the line get drawn (Universities, Libraries, etc...)?

Have you considered $19/mo for 1 Gig, $39/mo for 5 Gig and $59/mo for 10 Gig +$x per gig over what they normally pay? Another thought is do the tiers, and throttle them after they hit a point, after 1 gig, then you get throttled to 64k for the rest of the month. John Mike Hammett wrote: So
