mane_raptor Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Nice one, but..................... It uses fiber optic cable. Now I'm here on the top of a hill, off a dirt road, with my phone and power lines going up the hill thru the woods. In order for me to access this "grid", I'd have to have all that cabling replaced. IT AIN'T GOINNA HAPPEN! Last time I checked, the local cable company wanted me to pay them $15,000 in order to get cable service (and then they'd still charge me a nice monthly fee on top of that). Nope I'm stuck with dial-up until someone gets off their ass and brings High-Speed to this neck of the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
