Hi all.
What's the best value in rural service? I'm just north of the US border, 14 miles, off highway #59. There is wifi service all around me, but not "to" me without at least a 60' tower. I'm looking at Explornet satellite service and really don't like their contract. Are there smarter options?

Too bad there isn't 3G service in that area, otherwise that might have been an option with a rockethub or something. I know WiBand has a tower in Tolstoi at the park - no line of sight, or too far away from that?

There is a wiband tower in Greenridge too which is 5.8 mile as the crow flies. By the time it's all said and done though, that appears to be about a $3000 project for the privilege of paying their billing every month. That seems unreasonable.
Or does someone have an "in" with a free standing 60' - 80' tower and installation info. that might make the project more reasonable?
