I too live very rurally in NW Indiana, and built this house at the edge of a field where the land mostly huge acreage of soybeans or corn, except for this subdivision which is a sand hill left by theglaciers which followed THE FLOOD. The soil is composed of sand and oak leaves and has a water table which is only about 2 feet down. I think it is an electrical conductor of the most natural kind, its a wonder the moles don't all have curly hair! I blew 3 modems for our dial up service the first summer we moved in until I found THE surge protector for the phone. Now with the totally worthless linksys router, which like I mentioned is being recalled and was mistakenly marketed for the US...I have explored $everal kind$ of fre$h $urge protector$ andhave had to try again 5 times as they keep $ending the$ame equipment at $print$ ex$pen$e!!! I have also contacted the Sprint field office to ask them to find & check the grounding of the phone line and use ...something better. Isn't it insanity to keep trying something that doesn't work? I now await their new 2.0 versionof equipment. If I had a choice in DSL service I would take it. Cable TV isn't even offered. I was thrilled to get DSL, as homeschoolers we use technology for online classes, and "library" like resources. Kristina -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
