anon posted : well i called them today and the cs said the project was on hold and he had no idea when it would restart but he was unable to confirm cancellation of the project just that the interference issue was solved but now they are having problems at the tower but they are pressing forward as soon as the tower issue is solved. Said his best advice would be to call back at the start of the new year

Gotta love our taxpayer money hard at work. Might as well just flush it down the toilet.

So i don't know if that means they have given up or it's just a temporary delay. I do know that when i called a little over a month back i was told that a new issue had come up.

looks like they aren't as far a long as i was told as rep told me in September that they had equipment on all the towers and were just trying to work out interference issues. Will be interesting to see what their 4th quarter report says.

The cs told me that they are having new issues at the towers but he wasn't allowed to say what they were and that it would be sometime next year before they could offer service. I'll try them out if they ever actually get here but at this point must question the competence of the company. They are close to a year behind schedule and still don't know when they will be up and running.

OHSrob posted : Any wisp that think's AMP's will solve an interference issue on the ISM band is not capable of fixing your issues.

I would begin to look elsewhere for your internet these guys sound like clowns.

edit: Bi-directional amplifiers have pre-amplifiers in them on the RX side they add at minimum 17DB of gain. So you can expect an extra 22db of noise with an amp this will not work. (Assuming a 5db noise factor from the amp it's self)

What is your signal at the SM ? (Ask the wisp for this). It will be expressed in a negitive value as dbm for example -78dbm.

edit: It could also be over subscription or noise as well.

anon posted : We for sure have lots off trees out here. It's fair to say we have at least 100 trees for every 1 house lots of farm land and untouched forest. On top of that everyone on my street thinks it's a crime to trim any trees in your yard. I rent and have like 20 trees in my front and back yard most of which my landlord doesn't want me messing with. I still do some trimming though because if i don't the yard becomes like 1 giant canopy. Plus i'm pretty sure landlords have no legal right to tell me that i can't trim the trees in the first place. Anyway that's kinda off topic i'll let you guys no if they actually ever get it out here and how it works.

LLigetfa posted : Their speed offerings may have less to do with the technology and more to do with making sure there is enough to go around and/or controlling cost. Some WISPs allow as much speed as the technology can provide but that can cause issues when too many subs max out their system.

oh not sure if this will help you guys narrow anything down but you can be up to 10 miles from the tower and they only offer speeds of 1.5 and 3 megs. So the signal travels kinda far but doesn't offer very fast speeds.

I'm 3.5 miles from the tower and getting the speeds I posted earlier. It all depends on what they're using.

It is often chosen for its ability to tolerate some trees.

anon posted : i honestly have no idea what they are using or if they would even tell me if i asked. I just no they are a small mom and pop style teleco. The name of the company is bit which stands for buggs island teleco. I know you guys can't do anything about it but it's a frustrating situation. They were suppose to be out here in April that was what a cs rep told me when i found out about them 2 years ago. I was able to find out that soon because my landlord's husband is on the town committee and it was discussed at a town meeting. So i get excited and call and i'm told April of 2012. So may comes around and nothing so i call i'm told they the equipment will not work out here and that they have to update but before they install it on the towers in my county they want to first update it for their current customers but they'll be up and running around labor day. September comes and goes so i call that that's when the tell my about the interference issue. The project is being funded partially the the county and i'm scared that they are gonna pull a Vz and take the money and run. Verizon got a butt load of money to put internet out here over 15 years ago and they never did. So that's the whole story Right now i can wait or spend about 500 on 3g boosting equipment. I would hate to spend that money then have them start offering service next week. So my plan is to stick with wb till the leaves fall off the trees then if they aren't out here order a 3g modem from millenicon. Then hope they get out here before next summer. If not i'll just have to buy and amp and antenna and stick with 3g.

TheTechGuru posted : Well I certainly know of no cell phones that use anything close to 5.7ghz so I'm 99% sure they're not using that.

Out here gas well monitoring equipment uses 2.4ghz FHSS which makes 2.4 ghz canopy nearly impossible.

Sounds like they bought 2.4ghz equipment and are having to return it and get all 5.8ghz and 900mhz equipment which is what they should have done in the first place.

Nothing like pulling that out of thin air. What is your basis for stating they bought 2.4? What is your basis for saying they should use 5.8 and 900mhz? You have none.

Every area is different. There are plenty of areas 2.4 works fine, plenty of areas it doesnt; plenty of places 5ghz doesn't work and more places 900mhz doesn't work than 2.4 and 5ghz combined.
