Re: RipNET Wireless Broadband
I would also be quite suprised if I can get LOS.
What's keeping my hopes up, is that they apparently have some Morewood customers(don't ask me how they get LOS, but obviously they do).
I am aware of Storm. They have a tower up in Russell, which is close to my place, but unfortunately for me, I would need to install a tower due to a huge tree in between my house and the Russell water tower(I can see the water tower at this time of year, but when folliage kicks in, it's a different story).
They even have a Point-to-Point connection setup in Morewood that gets feed from the tower in Embrun, but it's only in LOS to closest neighbours. So bummer for me on that one as well.
btw, I do agree about the PITA statement, I did not like their service one bit(being a few calls and a site survey).
RipNET should be at my place either tomorrow or thursday to complete a site survey. Let's keep the hopes up  .
For the ping times, you can try some ping [server name or ip] -n 10.
Once again, thank you for all the precious information.

| Thanks for the reply. Those ping times are very nice
As an update, the site survey was completed today(ya, took them a whole week to get here :\), and it turns out we have perfect signal to their tower!
So, I should get hooked up sometimes this week. |
