| What does the nearest person who can get cable want to get it installed and use a wireless router to relay it to you?  |

Thats cheap when you factor in the costs of labor, digging, right of way, permits etc etc etc. the cable itself is only a couple hundred dollars. its the manpower and permits and such that bump it up.

James_d,
TWC closest connection was 1 mile to the north.
Cablevision closest connection was 1 mile to the south.
I actually didnt know any of those people and I
certainly wasnt going to knock on doors of strangers
and propose (then beg) them breaking their TOC for me.
Also the terrain is completely terrible for wireless
here: Trees, Hills and a nearby swamp. Doesnt get much
worse.
A wireless company named WEBJOGGER (located in Rhinebeck
and has a presence in Kingston NY) offers wireless
service but a huge hill was in the way.
They tried to hook me up, but could not find a
suitable tower that would work |

In Montgomery County MD, our franchise with Comcast indicates service for customers within 400 feet of the existing plant must be installed within 90 days of the request, free of charge. |

Well, congrats on *finally* getting to the end of the road, David. You deserve more than an IPod for all you went through, and all of your hard work.
I raise my coffee cup to you! |
