I have a place that I am using USB Ethernet adapter and getting 3-7 Mbps upload on it.

It is ok… but I have have access to a location with good internet 1.3 km away (0.8 mile) that I could raise and antena and skip monthly internet fees. However, there would be no line of sight and I am worried that 900 MHz band might be quite busy. I noticed that there is an intersection wired up with cameras and what looks to be a PointToPoint wireless connectors. It is close to the remote endpoint that I want to connect and any time I pass the intersection I get interference on phones connection.

It looks to me that point to point antenas look like cheaper option but I am worried about stability. However, I am not sure that an outdoor higher rated 4g antena would improve situation that much since the ‘Bermuda triangle intersection’ is right next to it…

    What all even uses 900 MHz band anymore? I know house phones used to, but they are all 2.4 GHz now. Depending on how populated the area is I wouldn’t worry too much about the 900 MHz bands being overfull. That intersection you mentioned might be a problem though. The lack of line of sight is also an issue. t may be one of those situations where you have to try it to see if it would work or not. Depending on how much the antenna costs that may or may not be feasible.
