So.... I got a HAM Radio license, Bought 2 towers and 2 TR-6000 radios ([link|http://www.tranzeo.com/products/radios/TR-6000-Series|http://www.tranzeo.c...os/TR-6000-Series]) with 2 high-gain directional dish antennas and 2 bi-directional amplifiers. Thanks to a strategically purchased rental property IN TOWN ON A HILL, I bridge the connection from its DSL to my home. Normally, the Amps are extreme overkill, but I live in the middle of the Greenbelt of Oklahoma (think dense 30-40ft. Oak Trees) and the Fresnel Zones ([link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_zone|http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Fresnel_zone]) are a real bitch with tree leaves. Works like a champ.

Another poster in the thread mentions [link|http://ask.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=305699&cid=20714185|bonding multiple POTS lines].

Cheers,
Scott.
