Thinking of other options - you're up the hill a bit, so probably in
near line of sight to the centre of town, so if you could get someone in
town with a good ADSL2+ connection or 2, then a proper wireless bridge
from the roof, you might be in with a good change - trouble is the
wirelss bridges are expensive - the Orthogon (now motorola) ones I used
some time back were getting on for £20K for a pair. 300Mb non line of
sight though...

Hmmm, pricey but I guess if it turns out we do need faster BB then maybe it's an option.

I suspect they've come down in-price somewhat now - it was 3 years ago when I did some work for them... I think the competition has opened up too - this is 5GHz kit, not 2.4.
