So you have won the Swiss lotto and you are mega rich.
Congrats
And being a geek you want to establish a mountain top lair to rival that of any super villan.
You need the internet, fast internet, money is of no limitation.
No land lines going to the new house you build on top of mount taranaki. 
What would you do?

i have looked around and it seems the fastest i can find is 2mbps : ( and thats with scorch.





PS: In retrospect i should have put this in the Random stuff forum. sorry.




Cheers guys.




My Opinion not anybody elses.

Run a dedicated fibre up the mountain. If money's no object...

what speeds would you get with something like that?
could you hook it strait in to a network node?

I'm not an expert in fibre, but I think the speeds are just limited to what both endpoints' equipment can handle.

So if you got tons of cash for it, I wouldn't be surprised in getting 25Mbps or more.

I would run a dedicated fibre connection up the mountain, then run my own fibre connection to the States and peer directly with one of the big ISPs over there.

Surely there is a satelite/microwave option that you can use.
just an excuse to erect a massive dish on your roof.

Fibre + [your own] satellite for a little bit of redundancy.
