Don't get me wrong, I am not saying the people in my neighborhood are stupid by any means. But. My kids play with their kids, we talk. They ask me what I do and it's like I am from another planet. Sure, they have cable. One or two might have DSL for the online gaming.. But wireless? Why would they? It strikes me as something a geek would get because you *can.* Now a wireless phone is a distinct possiblity and would fit with the slow speed. When I am home and have a chance, I'll walk around the block with the laptop on and see if I can tell where it's coming from, or where the edges are.
