Well fibre down the sewer to be more accurate. They are starting to lay 100mb fibre down people's sewers - nice ready made ducts to every house.

It looks a great idea but I suspect my mate from dynorod will be rubbing his hands with glee!!!

I've got a septic tank so I'll need to live with my shit connection speed.

Either that, or you could just surf shit.

They got your problem licked too, just line the bottom half of your septic tank with tin foil and use satelite connection instead

Then you can down load and upload as much crap as you like

I'm concerned that you described the problem as "licked".

Very amusing, all.
