We had a contract with CL for a 100/100 fiber line ($1400 / month) and the contract did allow us to resell it. We made sure that was the case prior to signing the contract. However, after 4 months of delays installing the circuit in a building where they already had fiber, we cancelled. They are

I have been trying for a couple days to get a new PTP60-35 60 GHz link up and running with no luck. Looking for some help / suggestions from anyone who has been successful getting links up. The 5 GHz link is working but 60 never trains up. I bought the spotting scopes and each end is dead center.

I bet that's fun to climb. I had similar issues on a tower with 4 lower powered FM stations (100s of watts) and I was using shielded cable. Added ferrites to each end and it cleared up 99% of my issues. Get a single link error every now and again. That's a change from dozens a day and a 1000BT

With two new FM stations moving onto the tower I am on, I need to solve the FM noise problem once and for all. I've been using Ferrites on each end of the Ethernet cable and its been pretty successful but I need to add a couple more antennas so I am considering conduit. This is not my area of
