Cable issue was just a bad end (I suck at crimping cat 5 while hanging from towers).

Ended up cutting 2 small trees to maintain service during rain storms.

My DSL (at the modem) is more like 2.7 down and .3 up; oh well, beats the hell out of satellite.

Our area will be upgraded to Uverse "soon" and I'll have 10 meg available then.

I always forget how huge of a performance hit WEP takes on a marginal link (almost 50%)

My You Tube addiction is easing.

I really really want a PTZ cam for my tower, but can't justify $500.

Total power draw (both ends) is about 5 to 6 watts (about 75 for satellite); maybe this makes up for the 2 trees that had to loose their lives, but not so much.

Still amazes me when I sit down on the couch and the internet doesn't suck; many many less trips "out" to use the internet.

All and All the best project I've ever done.
