I've got fiber to my noc, but need a diverse path (and cheaper per meg bandwidth).
Options: Build fiber to Dalllas, at 43 miles that's pretty expensive (443K). Buy/Lease Dark Fiber to Dallas (I know there is dark fiber in the trunk along I30, but I am having a hard time finding out who owns it) Set up Microwave links to Dallas. Since I own the towers between here and there, I can put very large dishes up 'cheap'. I can shorten the hop to 21 miles, but that is to a tower I lease space on, so the rent goes up. Any help with any of the above would be appreciated.
