As someone already stated, make sure you get some good high-gain (and narrow-beam directional - we use 10 degree yagi) antenna's. > Is this plausible.

Of course, weather does affect it - one of our spans tends to go down when there's just the right kind of heavy rain. Theoretic speed is 11Mbit/sec - effective (real) speed is about 6Mbit/sec.
