Never Fiber Secunda substitution

Theoretically, we should be able to tap from fiber speeds over the air with our deactivated/unused/ornamental DSTV satellite dish.

I am NOT talking about Satellite internet. More like tapping of the stream.
You can send internet by dish to your neighbor which will receive it by dish, using your internet connection.
So what is the closest Fiber tap-off point that could supply say, 5, 10 or 15 people?

I would seriously consider sharing a 1Gig stream like this. If it means I would get only 10 to 20 Meg's of the stream so be it.

Any ideas?
Also, for those stuck on 2 meg lines, this could be your way out if 10M line owners could share / sell to other parts of Secunda.

Yes-yes, the dish and willing "private seller" and hard ware and who will be in control of the software management and "what-else" issues will be dealt with.
Distance should not be a real problem, the cost will increase to "boost" the signal

Maybe this could be a better deal or substitution until fiber comes around
First,
If this would be of an interest to you, say Aye.
 
Interesting. You mean like WiFi?
 
You can fibre to a point then wireless from there to end users no issue (kinda like vodacom does with LTE), but the issue is what spectrum do you run the wireless on, the public bands are congested. There are a few licensing issues but those can be overcome, basically what you proposing is a "short-range" WISP, but the issue is spectrum
 
Hmmmm for one or other reason I dont see this working? How would you limit each user to say 20mb speed? Also would not be nice if lets say I want to game and my neighbor decides to watch porn... my ping would go crazy, I would be mad at him for not considering mye and he will be mad at me for not considering him.

Not going to get into the technical details, but the WISP can easily limit a user to a certain speed. What is being described here is a WISP.
