I"m on microwave. I"ve got a good line of sight to the microwave tower. Point to Point, only. No roaming around town, but good speeds. Very reliable even with occasional weather issues. Cheaper than satellite. Call some of the internet providers in your area to see if they have microwave. El Paso County (Colorado) telephone company can"t even spell DSL.

I couldn"t even get a second phone line, without the phone company charging me for infrastructure that other folk would use. I have 12 wire-pairs from our house to the phone box, and they wanted $500 to run more circuits in my neighborhood! I thought everything past the interface unit was their business. Isn"t that why we have a utility?

I ran the microwave input to my router, so all the PCs in the house can access the internet at the same time. So, if you"re doing a home network, be sure to get a router, not a switch. A "switch" doesn"t have an input for a "WAN" (Wide Area Network). Our two main PCs are wired to the router and run Gigabit (1000 Mbps). We have one remote PC running on a wireless link to the router. "N" (draft) standard, so it runs about 300 Mbps.

One last thing. If you do set up a wireless network inside your home, there are TONS of precautions you need to take. I won"t get into them here, but...

HAVE FUN!!!

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
