> no other ISP

I live in Iowa and the problem we have is nobody markets their stuff very well. We have a fixed wireless provider that, looking at their website, looks like they are just a cell tower climbing service. But they also lease space on just about every tall structure in the region (grain elevators etc) and can connect anything to anything. We got to them because we asked a WISP if they would do a private backhaul and the guy referred us over to somebody's cell phone. I guess they are happy to just have word of mouth and only have the website to reel in bonus work with the out of town telcos.

Never had worse than next day service on any lightning strike event from this guy, which is more than I can say for mediacom or lumen lol.
