Longview, TX | yes, its for a house. I'm thinking about setting up a NISP on my street. I dont have a budget set yet, still doing preliminary research. Im trying to get quotes for something higher than T1 in addition. |

| at a house, your options will be limited by what's in the street. your best bet is to contact the local cable internet company and see what they can install for you to resell (not a typical residential service plan). otherwise, you're going to be stuck with copper from GTE/Verizon, which means T1s. a single internet T1 circuit into a home (meaning no Qwest network) will be in the $500 to $550/month ballpark, with router included and 2 or 3 year term requirement, with no resale restrictions and unlimited IP addresses (you'll have to complete ARIN justification form). if there is a competing commercial WISP nearby, check with them to see if they would beam you some bandwidth for distribution to your neighbors. |

The town to the west (which is closer) has a cable company but they say the town to the east (which is farther) serves this area. Neither will run cable out here and the one that has "jurisdiction" over this area doesnt even offer internet. So thats out.
THis is a fairly new street, phone service is by verizon. I see a fiber optic marker on a cross street about a mile away. There is a wisp very close by and they would be more than happy to come in. But we have a lot of tall trees here and they say they would need atleast a 100ft tower to beam the signal in from the telco. The snooty HOA shot that down really quick. The wisp has tried setting up a tower on adjacent property but they cant get a signal through. Setting up the nisp and keeping the visibility of the equipment is kind of my last resort. We're all foaming at the mouth for something besides hughesnet.
my brother in law works for a telco and he said ds3 would be out because it runs on coax, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyways.
This is probably a question for a different forum, but I wonder how many houses I can share a T1 line with before the bandwidth slows down enough to where you wouldnt really call it high speed anymore? I assume demographics would play a big part. Old farts check foxnews.com and aarp.com. Houses with teens: Itunes.com, youtube, online gaming and porn.
What to do O what to do! Maybe i should just set up a charity and you guys can all chip in for an OCx line  |

| DS3s are copper, not coax. They just happen to be rather expensive.
As far as T1 saturation goes, it really does depend on the demographic. With the correct throttling protocols in place you might be able to get a couple dozen folks on it at 512 kbps, but then again you might not. T1s are pretty small these days for an ISP backhaul. |

Of course, you could try the old fashioned way ... have the HOA set up a meeting with Verizon and ask them how many commits you need for them to put a remote DSLAM (in Colorado we call them "stingers") in your subdivision. You might also try them USB data sticks from Verizon Wireless for $60/month. One of my affiliate websites is giving away the data sticks for free and sending $100 rebate checks.... data sticks won't be as fast as DSL, and there's a 5G throughput cap per month, but they do work through trees and walls. |

You could also use OTARD for leverage and strongarm the HOA - tell them you can either build a 100 to 200' tower for EACH house that needs broadband which they can't do squat about or do one tower and feed the rest of the homes from it. |
