Let me guess, Britbongistan BT?

The public utility company here provides 100Mbps down/up for $45/month with a static ip. No data caps. Gotta love Eastern Washington State, they ran a bunch of fiber back in the 90's in rural areas with government grants.

I live in the middle of an eastern european forest and there are 3 ISPs competing with constant special offers to get me to switch to their 4G LTE service

Paying 13 eur a month for 40mbps 20 km away from civilization right now

Can you do anything right at all americucks

>>62237271
yeah windstream sucks dicks. sorry mate. too bad they're often the only ones in certain areas. I dealt with that pain before.

>>62237271
Bet you regret not living in the city or suburbs now

>>62237271
1.6km? Man, I've done links ten times longer than that.

Make an agreement with one of those people that you know. Make him buy a second service from an ISP. Set up a wireless point-to-point system between your houses. 1.6km is nothing, you won't even feel it.

- Use only Ubiquiti or MikroTik gear
- Remember about the Fresnell zone

Good luck. Maybe you could even start your own WISP, just as I did.

Depending on how much clearance you have between you and your buddies, I think like I'd go with something simple, like the SXT Lite from MikroTik. About $100 for 2 of them.

I have 1.5mbps for 40$/mo...
BUT down the street people can get 40mbps.
So if could get a neighbor to cooperate, Is it possible for a direct antenna on both sides to go 0.6 miles? But my question is can it go though dense forest? or am I just fucked

The Fresnel zone radius would be about 3m (about 10ft) for a 5GHz link.
Meaning that for the perfect signal, you would have to build masts about 3m taller than the trees. Read on doing that, it's not that hard. Mostly a metal rod.

Thanks I'll look into that.
