Re: [WISPA] DSL or cable company connectivity
Use an ISP that allows for reselling, then it is not an issue. Megapath comes to mind. ryan On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 1:59 PM, Mike m...@aweiowa.com wrote: We were having a private conversation off-list and something came up.

Re: [WISPA] DSL or cable company connectivity
I was totally upfront and honest with Time Warner. We have a business account and we use the broadband to operate our business. I had our TW salesperson ( I insisted ) that they talk to his higher up people to get the okay and got it in writing that we are an ISP and that falls within using the access in a business. So I have one of their SMC crap modems. sigh. taken apart with a fan and heatsink on it and it sits as a fall back as well as my road runner at home. All above board. -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Mike Sent: Wednesday, December 02, 2009 5:00 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] DSL or cable company connectivity We were having a private conversation off-list and something came up.

Switch to fiber and you get much better equipment. -RickG On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 5:15 PM, Robert West robert.w...@just-micro.comwrote: I was totally upfront and honest with Time Warner.

Re: [WISPA] DSL or cable company connectivity
No, I'm saying I use the SMC as the fallback access. One gateway sitting in a bean field and a second at my house. If the main access gets zapped I can redirect the traffic to the 2 cheapo connections. I just hate those SMC modems. They get hot, not good for one sitting inside an enclosed NEMA box on top of a wooden pole in a bean field. So I took the case off the modem, put a heat sink and fan on it and wired the fan to the power connector. TW installer had to be convinced it was their equipment before he hooked their line to the box. They aren't used to naked electronics. -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of RickG Sent: Wednesday, December 02, 2009 7:05 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] DSL or cable company connectivity Switch to fiber and you get much better equipment. -RickG On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 5:15 PM, Robert West robert.w...@just-micro.comwrote: I was totally upfront and honest with Time Warner.

Re: [WISPA] DSL or cable company connectivity
I make sure they know what I'm doing. We don't lie to people. We also buy the top of the line business grade account from them. We get better speeds and they can't bitch about how many people we put on the connection. marlon - Original Message - From: Mike m...@aweiowa.com To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Wednesday, December 02, 2009 1:59 PM Subject: [WISPA] DSL or cable company connectivity We were having a private conversation off-list and something came up.
