Plano, TX Legacy: Fiber Provider or Wireless & Wireless question
by Brennan_Murphy＠NAI.com 20 Aug '03

20 Aug '03

Looking for any advice or pointers for obtaining multiple Gig links (last mile) in the Plano, TX area. The abundance of fiber options here seems to be decidedly underwhelming. Looking for suggestions including creative options such as wireless. I need to get from Plano to any closest better place for picking up multiple Gig Internet links. Wondering too what other large companies in this area have done for large internet links...any advice appreciated. Also, I'm reading now that more ISP's are using wireless for last mile provisioning on the new unlicensed frequencies. Was wondering if anyone had experience using Dragonwave or any similar wireless products in Texas. Do sandstorms and golf ball sized hail pose significant issues? Severe thunderstorms? Would like to chat with anyone with significant wireless experience in the Dallas area. WOuldnt mind speaking with an unfluffed sales person eitehr. :-)

Considering the amount of email traffic generated by responding to forged virus laden email from culprits like sobig should email virus scanning systems be configured to send notifications back to sender or not?

Yes, this is totally true. But my point was that being helpful is more efficient than pure cattiness (which could translate into arrogance *gasp*). Enough of that goes on on this list, and in any case, while we're busy sneering about our ignorant users, we could at least help out "our own". You know? Have a good one!

You *do* have to admit it's an unusual combination of skills to: a) have enough clue to get subscribed to NANOG-post *AND* b) not be able to identify Windows Messenger spam....
