Hello, I spoke with LMI regarding an uplink to the OMNI. The person I spoke with wasn't very familiar with their wireless deployment, but assured me that their best offering for us would be VDSL (he said that "there's been a change in the technology they can offer us"). The CO is apparently behind Genova Deli near 49th. This means we could hope for about 80Mbps. Their rate (on the Business plan) is $59.99 + tax, with $99 for gear and $60 for activation. They also offer line bonding (to double capacity). This is a reasonable option for the Omni, but I think it would only serve us (peoplesopen/sudomesh) temporarily. Also, I have always had poor latency with DSL, even with reasonable speeds. Discuss?

I also just put in four information requests (turns out it's an act of Congress to get someone on the phone) from Cogent, Level 3, AT&T, and 365 to find out about their price of transit and if by some fluke they aren't opposed to us mounting an antenna at their space. They should call me back. Once we iron out this bit of research we should move forward with finding a more robust uplink to toy with at the Omni. Yay. I hope that everyone reading this has an enjoyable and/or productive weekend.
