      Yes, but given I wouldn't want to climb a 350' tower in a thunderstorm, I don't expect my ISP to either.

                They have grounding equipment for that. .. . put the guy in a faraday suit.

                It's not all differences in electrical potential... but the gravity of the wind at that height....

                              Not a water tower in this case.. Most of those are around 200'

                              Because I live in an area where only 1Mbps DSL is available so we have Wireless ISPs (WISPs)

                                    I should have 366Mbps by end of summer, if all goes well.. Still not 1Gbps though

                                        I have fiber to my house, but I'm only subscribed at 40MB. That's $49/mo, but I could upgrade to 1GB at $129/mo. I don't see the value there.

                                          We up'd last week from 70 to 80 for $10 more per month to get out from under the 350 GB/month data cap. We now have unlimited data.
