Depends on just how reliable it is. We have an ISP where I live that is using a similar setup except it is using a proprietary card instead of an ethernet card to connect to the receiver/antennae. The only problem that I have heard so far is it needed a direct line of sight to the transmitter located downtown. You couldn't have trees or anything in the way. It seemed to work in all weather except extreme conditions such as snowstorms. General snowfall or rain didn't seem to affect it at all until things got the extreme levels of the storm. It's about $50/month here, but there is a $300.00 setup fee.

If it ain't broke, you're not pushing hard enough!
