We feed our wireless ISP system with 6 each, Gig E fiber connections at
dispersed locations from three 3 different nationwide carriers. There is no
need for a bottleneck. Diversity of feed is the name of the game. In town
or beyond DSL and cable, there is a choice.

Dave, I also have Wi-Max to run most of the computers but I have found
that even though I have 5 meg service the WI-Max is all over the ball

and for remote operation I have found this unacceptable. The DSL I have
is 1.5 meg up and down every time and all the time and with Remote Rig
allows perfect 35 WPM keying from the remote op on the mainland (in NYC)
I tried two different wireless ISP's before DSL came to my area. I
found out that the wireless ISP's only had a single T1 line to the
internet, so it didn't matter what speed the wireless link was,
there would be bottleneck at the head end. The DSL also has this issue
to a certain extent, but it has worked much better for remote station
control.
