Hi,

Anybody using a Microwave leased line for Internet connectivity? ...and want to share the experience?

I don't have access to fibre at this moment and I don't want to go for a diginet.

I'm currently using a 8MB WiMAX from Neotel, but is getting slow due to extra users in my network. Also Neotel mention that my speeds issues are due to a lovely 1:4 contention...

Is supposed that by the end of 2012 fibre will be available to my area.
 
It depends a lot who you get the service from as the various providers have vastly different service levels. Also make sure that the service uses licensed frequencies. Lots of providers are selling WiFi based services as microwave (which is not technically a lie) but with much lower service levels.
