Re: i don't think it's completely unreasonable

I am a bit concerned about latency and reliability. Care to elaborate?

Re: i don't think it's completely unreasonable

Reliability will most likely be greater since you are not physically attached with wires. All you need is your responder and a power supply to connect.

If power goes out you can always back that up with a generator with voltage regulator or with a UPS backup and your connection would be up and running just fine. Unlike if a pole snaps across the street and now your block is without phone service. Even if the CO on the other end is running just fine your link is broken. So that's advantageous over any wired network.

Latency depends on the technology used there is canopy, EV-DO Rev A, RF, and more from what I heard. I can't give you more information than what I know since I am currently looking into that data myself. But there is a WISP forum here, if anything we would find our answer there from people who actually own the equipment.

I at least know Canopy operates somewhere in the 5.8Ghz range.

EDIT: I know this is not a reliable source but here >> »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canopy_%28wireless%29

latency isn't too bad actually (in the tests I've done)

it's not dsl/cable but it's no where near satellite pings

it's a lot like being on interleave profile in dsl (15-30 ms pings)
