For normal intenet access the service is great for any large downloads its WAY to expensive. For these I go into town to the intenet cafe, one can get 4 gig for 3 dollars there AND its fast, I can get 700 meg bytes (1 debian CD) in around 9 minutes. You can get the first 7 which is usually all one needs in around an hour.
If there's reasonable access in town, maybe you could try something a former colleague managed.. he set up a kind of bucket chain of wifi links out from the edge of the town to his rural property.
With directional antennas and line-of-sight you can get long distances, so not too many nodes are required. Just need a few windmills, silos or comms towers to attach 'em to.
It would be great if you can find out all the details, I am sure others could benefit from this too ... those on poor DSL links because they are too far from the exchange for instance. -- Kind Regards AndrewM Andrew McGlashan Broadband Solutions now including VoIP Current Land Line No: 03 9012 2102 Mobile: 04 2574 1827 Fax: 03 9012 2178 National No: 1300 85 3804 Affinity Vision Australia Pty Ltd http://www.affinityvision.com.au http://adsl2choice.net.au In Case of Emergency -- http://www.affinityvision.com.au/ice.html
