RG, not to argue the point here too much, but you would need a transmitter liscence and equippent that would double as heater for your house if you were sending over microwave, also if all the subs were to do that the receiving antena ( at the ISP ) would be bombarded with signals and no-one would get through. As the diagram shows you will be sending over a land line ( telephone or cable) and receiving via air. My company was going to sell it but decided ADSL was better. Cable,microwave,ADSL all have unique features that are better than the other- some features are # of customer co-dependant eg when your service gets 50,000 subscribers you will be sharing that speed between you, as is the case with cable when the kids get home from school- forget it ( and the service is easilly hacked ).
Also one last thing, access speed and throughput speed are 2 different things ( which your ISP explains well) the important speed is that you see when you go to microsoft.com and download explorer, A friend has cable and I have ADSL +/- the same speed - my throughput was 10 x faster on a 1 to 1 test showing my ISP's internet pipe was the deciding factor.
On thing is for sure we should keep this quiet so we can keep the bandwith to ourselves ;-)
