  6. Re:Is it really economical? on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Way To Become a Rural ISP? · · Score: 1

    I'm connected to my WISP using a Motorola 900Mhz Canopy system which avoids a lot of the "line of sight" issues. My antenna "looks" at a bunch of 100 ft Douglas fir trees. Somewhere off in that general direction (2.3 miles away) is a repeater antenna. I generally have few problems with this.

    It doesn't sound like they had it quite so bad. Yes, they planned for most every contingency but TFA did say they only had a little flooding in the basement.

These guys did and kudos for that.
