RE: FW: [OT] ish FTTC Fibre Broadband etc.

[Nigel Giddings <nigel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Neil,



I know what you mean about the rain=85 the last few days have been fine and
even today we had a shower but the sun is out, honest=85



We are pretty central on the Moor at Colliford Lake, just down from Jamaica
Inn=85



In fact the proposed link (5.8GHz ISM) goes over the lake towards the
Exchange at Cardinham=85  With a line length of less than 500M I am hoping
=
to
get a decent ADSL speed!!! Although it will still only be 8Mbs. The MW
equipment should support at least 20Mbs so we should get the full benefit=
=85



I=92ll let you know when I plan to do it. Initially just going to fit a
pol=
e
to the house (The outdoor unit uses PoE) and get a portable guyed mast from
EBay (ex-military) to see if my paper calculations are correct. I then need
to negotiate with a farmer to see what he will charge me rent for placing
the equipment.



Best regards



Nigel

Hey Nigel!

/I'd be up for a bit of bog hopping one weekend!!!

Where on Bodmin Moor are you? - I've just come back from St Breward -
Any resemblance to a suntan is just a trick of the light - My skin has
actually gone rusty!!!

Cheers

Neil
