I've been saying this for a long time, but no one really cares to listen.
They're all happy with 768kb service.
The only way I can see doing it now is if you can use 5 gig and are using
DFS2 gear. Mikrotik and StarOS are the only systems that can put enough
throughput in the air to be able to offer 10 meg pipes in a PtMP
environment. Maybe WiMAX systems will have more throughput, maybe enough to
make other bands usable.

I've been looking through a LOT of "wisp" and "supposed wisp" websites
at service pricing / traffic levels.
Are you all NOT in competition areas where the iLECs are dishing out
5mbps/768kbps DSL everywhere you look ?
I am, and now combine that with Cable modems @ a MINIMUM of 10mbps down
and 2 mbps up.
All priced around $40 / month residentially.
HOW do we put up hardware, and what kind, that will compete at those
traffic levels ?
EASY to put up 1m/512 service - no one will use it tho.
