HughesNet seems to relax it's bandwidth cap between 2am and 7am, which is helpful, but still a great shift from what I'm used to at the current residence (15/2).No 3G cellphone service?3G at this location is marginal at best (stand on a hill and hold the phone up above your head.) That said, are there 3G radios that permit external antennas or are well suited to being sealed up in a weatherproof box and being placed on a pole/tower?
there are... some specific to particular interface solutions. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/wireless/hardware/notes/ant3gom.html most expedient approach is a card with a non-fixes antenna (like the huawei usb sticks) a crc9 to sma adapter and the appropiate antenna. paired with a cradlepoint cpe and you're probably done for less than $200.
3G would get us around the 200-300MiB/day issue, but I'm fairly certain I'll be dealing with similar monthly caps. I can really hope for a wISP nearby, but so far my research hasn't turned up anything. Is there some wISP marketplace/directory about? The final option would be to unofficially put hardware on the roof of my office 50km away with some high-gain antennas, but the path is marginally LOS, I think I might need a very large tower at either end. -cjp
