From a mounted mast, we can't hit anything north of the 24/580 bridge iirc
LMI is preferred due to being solar-powered. They have the same
reseller/sharing terms as Sonic.
Monkeybrains would be cool if we can get it :) Omni is unfortunately
surrounded by highways and condos, hence not being the hub of WiFi we'd
love it to be...

Hi all,
It seems important to know the costs before moving forward.
Also, I believe there were a few proposals on the table from my
earlier thread about creating a point to point link?
One was to just have one of the neighbors get sonic/lmi fiber and
shoot to them.
The other was to share internet with the long haul, just shoot it down
shattuck, which would greatly support that struggling space that has
the gigabit LMI service but it's a strain on the budget for us (LH).
Also, I remember being told that LMI is much preferred to Sonic due to
its policies around resharing internet. I would want to know what
Monkeybrains policy is, it feels contingent to ensure all decisions
made don't impact the Mesh or other projects.
I'd like to suggest investigating these options before moving
forward. I would be interested in being in any conversations,
installs, etc.
warmly,
ajay

This all sounds great to me, and I trust your judgement.
Since I can't attend, can you give an update on Wednesday night to share
the details? How much does it cost? What hardware do we use now, and will
it change? Is this plan in Sudo Room's name or Omni's? And can you share a
copy of their terms of service?
Cheers,

Monkeybrains has expanded their coverage a lot since we last checked, and they
believe they can hit one of their many uplink sites from our roof, and we'll
find out tomorrow! You should come hang out on the roof with us!!!!!!
Monkeybrains is also solar-powered (at least the Oakland facility) AND most of
their vehicles are electric, so I'm guessing they're more eco-friendly than
LMI :)
and don't forget, LMI is just reselling AT&T...we are literally connected to
the deathstar right now :(
cross your fingers for the install tomorrow!

I'll be there to help manage the network change in software.
What's the plan for physically linking the antenna to the router? How will
it penetrate the roof? Do we have enough cable available?

Also let's make sure the antenna is mounted on a "hydrological high point"
ie not anyplace where water is already pooling, as our roof is still very
vulnerable to small punctures turning into big leaks.
I imagine they'll probably weigh it down with cinder blocks or something?
