So is airnet.ca a localized provider... are they a cellular type internet connection? I'm just curious.
Local to Northumberland County Ontario.
Not cellular based no. They are Point to Point, LOS fixed wireless.

What do you want to know about Airnet.ca? For me, they are the ISP that brought me out of dark ages of dail-up and gave me the broadband no one else, not even Bell could.
Are they perfect, no. The nature of the technology tells you there will be outages, it is unavoidable. IF any repeater in the chain goes down, or loses power. Your connection is dropped. Out of your control, and out of the ISPs as well.
That being said, I can't remember the last time there was a significant outage. More then 12 hours being a long time.
As for speed, it is what they say it is, and it is very consistant, with no real slow downs to speak of.

Yes, it is Line of Sight. Unless you are really close, then it can go through trees, etc. Anything over distance, needs a clear line.
I don't think it is microwave. I think it is just a 802.11 wireless connection, but fixed point to point.
