Variability will always happen with small businesses, but you're more likely to encounter someone that won't do nasty things to your bits through a local WISP as opposed to a national player. It's also more likely to be consistent versus the variability of a mobile service. WISPs have been going strong for years. Typically when a fixed wireless customer moves to mobile wireless, they move back within a couple months. Also, *most* people don't need more than 10 megs at home, so fixed providers that haven't upgraded to support faster speeds aren't really at a disadvantage when you look at how the connection is actually used. That becomes apparent once you switch. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryan Fields" <Bryan () bryanfields net> To: "NANOG List" <nanog () nanog org> Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2019 2:28:05 PM Subject: Re: residential/smb internet access in 2019 - help?

You really want to weigh what wireless can offer as many of the local players doing wireless lack the depth of network knowledge and are completely ignorant of what it takes to run an RF network. I'd independently verify your circuits up-time if you decide to go with a wireless ISP. The other sad part is the PtMP wireless technology is likely slower than an LTE modem with external antenna. The WISP's had a great time circa 2005 or so, but now that the licensed players have surpassed what they can offer it's hard to justify the lower availability of the typical WISP vs. cost. -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net
