Very nice and expensive. It is now loaded up. We have only lost 2 wireless users in our whole career, at this is in the heart of both DSL and Roadrunner territory. It is not enough to simply spend a bunch of money or even to build a good network. A good network is living and breathing and it must be maintained, monitored, groomed, expanded, and all sorts of time consuming activities.. And that is only the beginning! ;-) (won't mention email and tech support) The revenue off this single $25k POP is now close to that figure every month FWIW and is one of the sweetest investments I've ever made. My only regret is not building 10 of them...
