Just read your router article in the January edition of MPC. What caught my attention was your new house being built on what was once a dairy farm. I grew up in a rural area till much of it was paved over with new houses, strip malls, etc. Even though the crush of development and the problems it brought (transportation, taxes, crime, etc.) were a real bummer; I had hoped we would finally get an alternative to dial up internet. There is a satellite solution, but from what I've seen - it is only marginally faster than dial up. So here's my question: How does an employee for MPC put up with painfully slow internet? Is there a sweet DSL, cable, or (dare I say) fiber optic option that you have somehow been able to acquire? Thanks much in advance, -Chance Templeton Middleburg, VA Loudoun County (Fastest Growing County in America) P.S. The traffic will only get worse :-/
