Day 46

I was so looking forward to today because a technician from a new high speed company in the area was coming to check if we could get a signal for high speed. They had set up a tower in the next town over not too long ago, and we were really confident that we had a clear and unobstructed view to it. But, when the guy got here, he started testing in the other direction. Wally asked what was up, and he said the tower in the next town failed and that it was being scrapped. Nooooo! No signal for us, we are just surrounded by too many tall trees. 

Here is Wally and the tech guy checking out the tree line on the back deck.

  2. NOOOOOOooooooooooooooo! I've been there done that and it's heartbreaking. We could see the top of the tower but there was a distant forest blocking the signal. DH was ready to cut down as many of our achient walnuts as needed but it wouldn't have helped.
    Luckily for us there is another company that uses another tower that we get a great signal from. Isn't country life fun?
