Now you can band together with your neighbors and provide high speed wireless internet in areas where you thought you might never get high speed. A single internet satellite or other high speed connection, available anywhere in the US, can provide internet service for up to 25 households in a half mile radius.

Satellite providers like HughesNet( http://www.hughesnet.com) provide satellite high speed internet connection for as little as $59 a month. Satellite service is available anywhere in the continental US.

Companies like MegaPath http://www.megapath.com/ provide high speed DSL and T-1 connections.

Now take the cost of these high speed connections and divide by 10 or 20, and you can have high speed internet in your neighborhood for less than the cost of dialup.

In most neighborhood situations, there are a number of factors to consider (Trees and obstructions, type of construction, distances, terrain, etc.). Get our free checklist, which covers the 10 most important factors to consider in setting up neighborhood internet. Click the box below.

READ THIS CHECKLIST BEFORE YOU CONSIDER ANY INTERNET DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.

Broadband connections for home use are largely a waste of money. You buy a DSL connection, which is capable of supporting 1.5 Mb/sec of data flow. Then you login and request a web page. The page downloads in seconds; and you spend the next two minutes reading the information on the page. Sound familiar.

What is your DSL connection doing while you are reading the page? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

The average home user actually uses less than 1% of the bandwidth he is paying for.

SO WHY NOT SHARE THAT UNUSED BANDWIDTH WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS? Split the cost and still get all the benefits of high speed downloads.
