      Yes, but given I wouldn't want to climb a 350' tower in a thunderstorm, I don't expect my ISP to either.

      They have grounding equipment for that. .. . put the guy in a faraday suit.

      It's not all differences in electrical potential... but the gravity of the wind at that height....

        And wondering why my wife is still asleep. It's 11am!

        She had the con-junk, her body needs some rest!

          Oh please, I've seen people climb mountains without protective.

                    Not a water tower in this case.. Most of those are around 200'

                    Because I live in an area where only 1Mbps DSL is available so we have Wireless ISPs (WISPs)

                          I should have 366Mbps by end of summer, if all goes well.. Still not 1Gbps though

                              I have fiber to my house, but I'm only subscribed at 40MB. That's $49/mo, but I could upgrade to 1GB at $129/mo. I don't see the value there.

                                We up'd last week from 70 to 80 for $10 more per month to get out from under the 350 GB/month data cap. We now have unlimited data.

                                    I have 30 MB with Timewarner -_-. It gets the job done I guess.

                                      I'm paying $68/mo for 25/5. 50/5 would be around $100/mo.

                                        I am $85/m for 30/5 right now, given what it is and where it is not bad. Frontier was charging me $75/m for the 1Mbps DSL

                                          My parents are paying 50$ for 3/.5 DSL... so I guess I shouldn't complain too much.

                                            Spectrum? I called and since they have new plans... the standard plan is 60down now.
