Re: They are right, not that many have a REAL broadband.
if you relly wanted to you could probably buy a t1 and share it among your neighbors (t1 costs around 550)if you and your frend split the costs among you it would be around 55 dollors per month
this would likely create some competation
as for getting dsl call embarq and tell them you have 10 ppl who want dsl in that area and see if they budge |

well t1 speeds are 1500 kbs so around 150 kbps per user but since no one ever users there whole conntection 24/7 you could probably get around the same speed as what you get now maybe a bit faster
and would diffently be less latency |

| Not much less latency though. A well-run wireless network has very low latency increases vs. a straight T1.
Personally, since you're relatively close to Kansas City, you could set up a microwave link (Trango stuff is relatively cheap) then get service from Level3 or Cogent in town (Cogent would be dirt cheap) and pipe it out to your place. It'd be a good bit cheaper than a T1 over the long run, and faster. |

Pleasant Hill, MO | I have dish already. And what is this microwave link? And how much would the start up cost and monthly cost be roughly? |

That's the radio you'd want. Two of those would get you more bandwidth (set a radio link up halfway).
Monthly costs would be bandwidth and space wherever you're putting the radios. One would be on your place, and at least one wouldn't be.
If you were able to do such a thing, Joe's Datacenter might be able to cut you a deal so you'd pay a few hundred, tops, for a few megabits of bandwidth (a few X a T1) and space to mount the radio. You might even be able to get 10 Mbps for the price of a T1.
So, cheap, basically...you could call in and see what they'd do for you. |

| If you really wanted to get fancy and make your own WiSP, get some Cogent bandwidth in town for a few bucks per megabit, find a place to mount your radio, get an expensive Motorola Orthagon kit (with a nice amount of throughput) and use some WiMAX gear to distribute.
You could probably charge the same amount as KCWEB for setup and thus your equipment costs would be half made up for upfront. Charge a little less per month than they do ($45 maybe) and offer more bandwidth (2 Mbit down, 512 up maybe) and see how it goes. Just pulling stuff outta my rear end here but it just might work. |

Pleasant Hill, MO | they use cogent, and if you [ay 10 month is advance you get 2 free making it $45. And do you think I shoud ask about the arenaline(how do you say that?) on the embarq board? |

Go ahead and ask on the Embarq board. I know either Embarq or CenturyTel are actually using that exact tech. And they're merging...but CenturyTel only offers 512/128 or 512/256 DSL in extended reach areas if I remember correctly.
On Joe's Data Center the cost to put up a radio might be a lot higher than just putting a server in their place. |
