Hello Butch,
Thanks for your insight with this problem. I read through the
information and your blog. I believe we should pursue implementing the
method you mention to try and balance the usage of the users. The
prioritization script is something we want also but at the moment even

Hi Matt,
I would love to be able to put in a real alternative to satellite, I
would be their hero. It's just not feasible for us with the size and
cashflow of our company. Just the setup of one remote powered site might
cost more than a years worth of revenue from the town when including
It's a brutal environment, and that's when you are at ground level. On
mountain tops you have to take extreme measures to protect your
equipment. I have been to a some easier to reach mountain sites and they
were nasty. When we up there several dishes had been ripped off the
tower, heavy ice
You are right on the money, limited sun up here in the winter. The look
angle on our old satellite service G4 had to by put on a roof just to
clear the horizon. We always envisioned digging a trench to improve the
signal.

Last month we had a 24db 5Ghz panel ripped off its mounts by the wind.
This is on top of a hill just behind the sierras and is only 3 feet off
the ground. Ripped four bolts out of the back of the antenna. I was
able to drive to the mountaintop,

This really depends on the board. For

Can you keep a wind generator working in that environment?

There really aren't trees that you would worry about in that part of

all.
Solar is going to require batteries due to the extreme nights, too.

That's a darn good question. I'm thinking it would be very challenging..

All the satellites are seriously oversubscribed. That is probably the
source of your varying bandwidth.
Does your satellite provider have such a thing as a dedicated pipe (I
don't know if that is even possible)?
If you had dedicated bandwidth, then you would have the ability to
parcel it
In the past I have considered some horrible kludge of a sat provider
augmented with Hughs or Starband for caching maybe. I'm sure it would be
painful and might not work so we haven't really pursued it. Plus the
additional costs in equipment and dishes makes it hard to consider.
Tying the two
When I looked at McGrath, I asked myself where were the nearest other
places that might have bandwidth. This is what I came up with:
Mountain Village: ~~ 270 miles
Anchorage: ~~ 220 miles
Talkeetna: ~~ 170 miles
Those are all doable, but just thinking in increments
Have you tried Butch's QOS? It is based more on priority then rates.

What sat provider are you using?

I'm sorry, but I missed the first message in this thread. I will try to
address some of your questions/concerns now, though.
It's definitely in the middle of no where, I wouldn't want to live
there. We originally helped them install Internet service there in 1998
with our previous company Spectrum Wireless, we assisted the local
utility with installation and operation. At Spectrum we built wireless
routers back then
Hello everyone,

It's shared at a 5:1 ratio and uses compression, so we see bandwidth
levels vary based on the other satellite users usage. The problem
