If you sell a national backbone what do you have in North Texas? I need bandwidth desperately and cant find anything less than about $250/Meg.I know you meant to send this offlist and ultimately, you did, but I figured I would respond onlist in case others have a similar. In fact, this whole thread started with the concept that you shouldn't have to pay $250/meg.
First of all, we are only built out in major cities, so we don't have a network near you. However, cheaper bandwidth shouldn't be too far away. I know there are plenty of wireless companies operating in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and it looks like you are about 40 miles outside of Fort Worth. Have you talked to another wireless company about bandwidth? I believe BelWave is in Fort Worth and their network may include parts of North West Fort Worth making the shot even less than 40 miles.
I happened to ask offlist for some information on the closest tower Jory has to Fort Worth. Using that information I came up with the attached backhaul figured using 5800Mhz. The other side of the shot is the D.R. Horton Tower, which I would think cheaper bandwidth would be available. It would also appear that plenty of other buildings should be accessible.
