Question about DAS deployments: Why can't they use my backhaul?

Hi everyone,

Our organization recently had a new multi-carrier DAS setup installed in a few of our buildings. These DAS systems get thier backhaul from the nearby cell site. However, we have had many users complain that speeds are inadequate (50+ users), and upon further research, found that an LTE connection with a strong signal (-67dbm) struggled to reach 0.1mbps on all major carriers, and Speed Tests often timed out. We offered the contracting company use of our internet connection to use as backhaul (even offered them one of our dedicated circuits w/business level $$$ connection w/SLA) to enhance the capacity of the DAS, but were told that it was illegal because "it fails to comply with 911 standards". Is this true?

Thank you very much in advance. Will be happy to provide any additional details.
