Network solution design (wireless bridge Vs 4G)

[RobinD]

TLDR: I have two building within 100 meters . One has a 72mbs line and one can only get 16mbs . I want to uterlise the 72mbs line in the second property. I'm thinking a wireless bridge. 

 

........

 

So i pay for my best mates internet. Have done for years. I get Discounts and I crash there sometimes. He gets 72mbs and will be upgrading to 300mb or 1gbs later in the year when the service is commissioned.

 

His traffic is mostly at night and mine in the day. 

 

Next week I'm moving into a house approx 100meters up the road. Direct line of sight. But it only offer 16mbs and is not part of the FTTP roll out happening this year. (BTOR work in mysterious ways). 

 

So my choice are: 

1) use a 4G router likely get 12-20mbs in my area. (Wiltshire,UK) 

 

2) get a wireless outdoor ap and point it up the street

 

3) get a wireless bridge

 

............. 

I work in IT. So managing the solution should be ok. I can get some kit for free as throw aways from projects but might need to buy it myself.

For my job I need reliable internet 24/7. 

 

So people of LTT. Any warning or concerns or tales of woe. Or any big Brian people got better ideas? All thoughts greatly appreciated.

Any suggest on kit (Models and brands) also appreciated. I do setups like this in work but we obviously have our brand bias. Thinking about it I can't use kit free from work as it will be EOL and will not meet my cyber security needs for my traffic ... So general advise from community be good on that front too.
