Yes Belwave is there and they come highly recommended. I have talked with
them and they seem like good people. I will sign a contract with them this
week I hope. I was just wanting to find a better price per meg but it does
not look like it will happen.

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.
