      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....

      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.

                              Ugh... I pay 70$/month for 50/5.

                                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.

                                            What? really.... TW was bought by Spectrum... or are they still in transition there.
