[ale] Wireless?

[Gary S. Mackay]

My experience with wireless has usually been frustrating. Aligning the
anteneas is a pain. Everything works great for awhile. But weather conditions,
wind fog, etc. usually end up affecting it somehow. Back up to the roof you
go, 30 mph winds and -30 degree temps to try and align the anteneas again.
Maybe you will have better luck, but fiber lets me sleep peacefully.
