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

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.

Is 5GHz what 'A' wireless runs on?  (as opposed to 2.4 for 'G')?
