do you have a link to that link? I'd love to read it.

Anyway, the building of this frustrated the heck out of one of my company's stores for the longest time, as they extended the Supernet into their town just far enough to reach the high school. Our store was literally across the street, but couldn't get high speed because it stopped on the other side of the road. Given how rural the community is (nearly 100k NW of Grande Prairie), they were stuck with this horrible wireless connection that makes a 128k ISDN look blazing fast.
