You city fellers are startin' ta git on ma nerves! Out here in the 
cornfields I git "24k on a good day", cause of the city slicker housing 
development up the road diggin' the line up so much when it rains hard I 
get so slow I can barely connect, and when it rains REALLY hard I can't 
even make a phone call at times.

Of course I'm a mile and a quarter from a wireless tower, they were here 3 
times in 2 days. They'd get a good signal....and lose it, over and over. 
You can see the tower lights at night plainly, but their equipment is down 
the tower a way, just far enough for a hilltop to be in the way. Glenwood 
has MediaCom, but cable stops a mile away and they say they have no 
immidiate plans to extend it this way. Qwest said a week ago they had DSL 
here now, but I'm not listed as being able to get it. They'd have someone 
here to condition test the line in a week to 10 days.

Anxiously counting,
