Re: [WISPA] Verizon fiber
Did you offer to buy the equipment needed to break into? Not unlike big carriers to WAY over quote equipment for you to join?

Re: [WISPA] Verizon fiber
I was told that I needed to be in the $30k/month range before the long-haul provider I was talking to would consider giving me a port here So close, but yet so far.
