Using for what? Motorola and Orthogon for our radio links.

20 years ago before the "fiber" and MCI was using links, they cost

That's nice, but they don't have to cost that much. I know one of the
local metro counties here is using 7Ghz licensed for trunking their 911
operations and each link cost under $50k. I am not privy to the uptime
of these links, but I am guessing that they must be pretty reliable if
they are used for 911 by a government entity.
I've been doing this for almost 10 years.... I have THOUSANDS of
wireless customers. How many customers do you have? The total number
of failures is relative to the number of CPE.
I don't really see how we can compare our businesses as we don't really
do much multipoint. A customer that just buys a T1 replacement for a
single location is the exception in our business. Most of our customers
are buying a lot more bandwidth and/or have many locations. For example,
one of our CLEC customers just placed an order for 14 new 3Mbps links.
You think a CLEC is going to use us for last mile if we can't provide
them with a 99.99%/50ms SLA?
And if you are using CPE that is more than $150, maybe you should be
looking at Trango. :)
We evaluated Trango and even used them in a the field for a while. We
don't use Trango anymore.
