We do poles but not guyed. You are right. Guyed poles can be very time
consuming. Especially if you have to anchor the guys on the house.

think we have even dropped pole installs due to their complexity. we
have to support what is put up too and it can be time consuming. i
guess we can discuss all of this over dinner next week :)

So you disagree when your own high number of rejections show you
should be doing it?
The advantage is that it's the customer paying for the height that
they need to get service, not you (mostly).

i disagree. we're over 600 customers now. very few have towers.
but we have a lot of rejections too due to weak signals. talk to
other wisp companies at wispa - the solution is more towers.
well, too many towers and that gets expensive...

Eh? When you are in a highly-treed area, you need to do towers
or be quick to send customers to a company that does. There's
no other easy way to get NLOS.

well, we don't do towers by default. in fact, i think
we've had six customers or so who ever wanted towers and
usually we told them to put their own up. I'm not sure to
be honest, probably need to pull some work orders and find
out why. I mean, some of those are in very close proximity!

That's a quite high percentage of failures. Why? Trees
and those customers didn't want to pay you to put up a
residential tower?

and this is REALLY annoying. Two water tanks, very
close. i think 3 miles apart.
green dots = installation successes
yellow dots = FAILURES

You can offer it right now in 2.4, 3.65 or 5.8,
the customers just need to pay the money for it
and to cut trees and/or buy a big tower. A few
people are, the hard part is finding them...

me thinks if the FCC gave me 100 mhz from, oh, i
don't know, 600 to 700 mhz, i could offer 25/3.
Easily.
Give me what I want FCC!

How many WISPs out there offer 25x3? What do
you charge for it? Are there bandwidth limits
or is it unlimited? I'm trying to understand
how we could reliably provide this service
without putting 5-10 customers per AP.

if you say "up to", does that qualify? ;)
