We met in our 20’s when I lived in Vancouver so no high school bullying here. I moved and we just lost touch but it’s always fun to watch the videos.

I'm curious about the use of the Fresnel zone here, because typically it's desirable to have as little as possible be in it depending on what part of the spectrum you're in - let alone trees, buildings, or the ground in the forms of hills or mountains.

I have an acquaintance who I took CCIE classes with, who spent years maintaining and building radio chain links for all the summer houses along the Danish coast, because a lot of them can't get fiber or even anything beyond DSL over poorly maintained copper that needs lots of signal attenuation, so while I refuse to ask him to watch something I won't, I can pretty confidently say that it absolutely can work - if you're not incompetent.

Getting 10/10Gbps and peering at an IX isn't nearly as much of an issue as I think you're making it out to be - the biggest cost by far is getting the cable run sorted if archive.org can manage it for a 100Gbps ring around most of downtown San Francisco(*), I'm sure LTT can manage it whereever in Canadia they're based.

*: Jonah Edwards at The Internet Archive did a presentation on their infrastructure a while ago, and it contains a bit of the story:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neBeDgICOeA

Fresnel zone in 60GHz is very small. Beamwidths of 1 degree.

This is just paid advertising. If they had a network team, or a wireless person they can lean on they would pickup a pair of Siklu Etherhaul 8010’s in 80GHz and have a real 10Gb full duplex radio.

Even better, I’m almost certain that there would have been some conduit run between both buildings. Just fish thru some fibre and throw a couple 10Gb SFP+ on it and bingo bango bongo.’

60GHz is very bad for rain attenuation. With that short hop between buildings it will probably be fine, but when you extend it past 1KM you’ll get hard fluctuations in signal which will modulate the speed on your radio down to below 1Gb/s to compensate for bit errors.

Having worked with Ubiquiti for almost 15 years now in my career I can guarantee if you tried to iperf that thing in both directions at the same time you wouldn’t get even the 5 gig down 5 gig up that you are advertised. Ubiquiti also loves to fluff it’s numbers by saying you have a 10Gb Radio! Just don’t try to use upstream and downstream at the same time.

Not to mention this install is loving trash. If you wanted a reliable stable link, you run DC and Fibre to this thing, make sure you ground the radio, your surge protection happens back in the building where you also ground your DC cable, and the diameter of the pipe they put it on is too small.

Edit: Jesus christ this radio is 1000 euros each and is in “early access” which is ubiquiti’s test release area, not stable.

These are half the cost and do a better job of what they deployed. https://www.cambiumnetworks.com/products/cnwave/60-ghz-cnwave-v3000/

LTT has an insane internet uplink, I think they've talked about it before where they've got a direct fiber link to the Vancouver interchange so that they can support floatplate etc.

I can’t find any ASN for them so I would assume they just have internet transit. I doubt they spent the money on a wavelength all the way to VanIX if they’re not bgp peered.

Edit: I watched their old video about upgrading to 10Gb and they’re purchasing a wave thru https://itel.com who is purchasing from Telus or Shaw to physically get to VanIX. Then they buy 6 gigs of internet transit from urbanfibre.

So I’m wrong, they did waste a bunch of money on a wave with no use for it because they’re not bgp peering.

Big spenders.

Truth. Maybe some of the other channels see the dollar signs or it's some kind of humblebrag. I find it hard to believe that anything is worth 100mil at LTT but what do I know. I'm not a popular youtube celeb.
