The signal TMI uses comes off of the tower on Gilman Hill in Meredith that when last checked in late September was delivering a consistent 47 MBps. Waiting to hear when NH Broadband plans to start connecting NHEC customers on the Winnipesaukee islands, and wondering what the customer's installation cost (if any) will be.
(Hey P-3 Guy, I used to live under the NHZ pattern in Topsham. XP3NFO).
We installed Hub66 in late August ($250) and they added a repeater to aim at our next door neighbor who was a little deeper in the cove. We get our signal from the Gunstock tower. I don't know much about it, but the neighbor says 125 meg s up/down. We had a guest from Tulsa OK who set up three laptops on a table in the yard and taught networking classes with great success. Price is $130/month with an automatic drop to $40 in the off season. If Joe wants to build infrastructure, all he needs to do is send us a check for broadband; don't care so much about roads and bridges. Huge improvement over Consolidated DSL at ~$60/.month.
