I'm about four miles from the CO according to the crow. How the telco snakes things is another issue. On the line that went back to the CO I couldn't get better than about 26K. The other one went to a SLC in the neighborhood and I could get 49-53K reliably on that line. DSL was still unavailable. > It works over longer distances overr here, albeit not flat out.

Do you want me to Google all the posts in this thread where you have said things like your female training makes you better than men? Every five or six posts you come up with something where you say being a woman makes you better at mess prevention (etc.) You play the gender card on a regular basis.
