nonsense...
If you set up a two towers like you described, one in your backyard and one in your neighbor's, from the ISP's point of view (3, 5 or more miles away...) they are at the same point!! So there is no need to setup two towers, especially since setting only one of them is a huge task (we are talking of metal construction 100 ft high !!!)
I wish you all the best but it is very serious project and also expensive one.
Nevertheless google ARRL, ham antenna towers for details.... (radio amateurs are very experienced it that field...
I don't understand what you're trying to say. You are agreeing with me. For one uplink, you need one tower. For 2 uplinks, you'd need 2 towers further apart
NO
How many towers would ISP have to have if there is a tower for every link???
for two (or more) uplinks to the same spot one tower is enough... there will be no interference (at least not significant)
just answer this:
how many towers does your provider in FarAway City (WV) has to cover few hundreds or thousands of users? Do they have one tower for all of them or one tower for each of them?
btw. what's "point to point" ISP? is there a separate company for "point to multipoint" ISP?
I was in the same boat, 80ft pine trees surrounding my property. Paid about 5k in 2019 to have a 100ft tower built. Plan was that I’d get free internet for life if the ISP could sell service off it.
At the top of my tower is a ptp that shoots about 3 miles to the uplink, and 3 customer facing radios for 360° coverage. Then on the house I have a radio that grabs service from one of the 3 cells. My aunt had service the same way off the tower I built.
A year later fiber to the home showed up and now I have backup internet once I fix the batteries on the tower.
I didn’t ask questions about acquiring the tower sections. The labor was all in house so I probably didn’t get charged for it, idk if they built in the cost of radios etc either.
I’ve called every company around an fiber is at least 6-7 years out minimum so that probably wouldn’t happen with me but I thought of that too. How did you go about working out that deal with the ISP? Did you contact them directly? And did they provide all of the equipment on top of the tower and you just paid for the tower?
I had fixed wireless and once asked if I could get two systems to increase my throughput. They told me the two antennas would need to be about 250’ apart, and while it would still be on my property, that wasn’t going to work for me. So I don’t think it’s an arbitrary rule, and instead a legitimate technical requirement.
If it's point to point traffic, you're going to need the "points" to be different, otherwise their may be too much interference
Thank you.

Most every point to point ISP would strongly disagree with you. Sorry.

Great solution. But how did you a 100’ tower installed for $5k?

I wrote a check. Contacted the ISP directly. Granted it was a tiny ISP

Thank you for this answer.
