| Re: RipNET Wireless Broadband $3k is about right for a properly installed Delhi (guy-less) tower. And these *must* be properly installed. Typically you'd be looking at roughly $1500 for the tower itself, and a good $600-$800 for the concrete for the base. If you have the ability to do the actual installation (digging the hole, etc) and understand the proper techniques, you can definitely install yourself.
You can also hire anybody else you want to install the tower. That's totally independant of the wireless installation (you just call them back after).
You can go for the cheaper TV tower approach, which will require guy wires. That saves money but in my opinion looks bloody awful.
I've heard that 2-way satellite pricing has come way down in the past few years. Have you priced them out?
