Excellent rant Mike. Anyone else notice that Tranzeo is now selling a new/modified range of 5.8 AP/PtP/CPE that will do 23Mb/s starting at only $337 Canadian (~$270US)? We got our first four yesterday, initial feedback I received is they look pretty decent. We're installing them as 2 PtP links over fairly short ranges. But you can reconfigure them as AP or CPE at the click of a mouse. A very nice touch. Another small step along the path to higher speeds at reasonable prices.
