It's all about signal to noise. You get a dramatic increase in signal to noise with 5 MHz channels. I have a couple sectors running 1/4 channels. I call them my trouble sectors. Horizontally polarized, I put distant customers on them who had trouble making the distance at full channel. I've made some difficult customers happy. I wouldn't put that many customers on such a sector because of the diminished throughput.

I have an area that's developed some noise and after watching the spectrum analyzer all week I'm thinking of going to 5MHz channels there. I'm using 5GHz UBNT APs with all MIMO CPEs. I did a test with 5MHz width and was hitting 32.5mbps TX, 13mbps RX throughput so that part is cool but are there any drawbacks with going with 5MHz channels???
