I used to have WiMAX that I hooked to a parabolic antennae that I had to mount on the roof for additional gain. Was fine (and unmonitored) until our two telecoms dumped it. They tried to get me to switch to their 3G hub. $50/month 2 gig cap. $10/gig overage. I told them I got more than that with my phone. Sadly satellite ended up being my only option

in my case the company I lease the house from also owns a communication company...the owner got sick of crappy internet service so he went to the source which is in downtown LA... leased a 400/400 connection..... leased a rooftop 7 blocks from the source, set up a dish and hit
'MT Wilson' LOS, from there LOS to another peak, then to
'Castro Peak' which the owner happens to also own.... then he went LOS to his house down the street from the place I live in..... THEN I got him to put a tower in the backyard on a hill where I'm at which is LOS from the roof of his guest house and SHAZZZAMMM!
no caps or anything...just promised 36/36 but in reality I get average 80/80 for $400 per, plus I had to pay a $500 setup fee which considering the price of the tower isn't much at all.. I still have cable for BU because the radio drops every now and then for an hour or so once or twice a week randomly...
