Re: Some truth about Comcast - WikiLeaks style

I faced a similar challenge. If you have line of sight to something, you can do fixed wireless for maybe 200-400 
depending on the gear and frequencies involved. Check out the ubnt 365 or m5 gear. Cheap as in disposable. Works quite 
well. Then order a Comcast business connection there and call it a day. 16/2 or 50/10 for less than a t1 loop as long 
as your facility fees on the other side colo aren't too high.
