My DSL was down all

My DSL was down all of last night and all of this morning. I had completely forgotten about it, since I was able to use somebody¹s cable modem. Thanks to the Airport technology, I was able to find this friendly neighbor, who left his airport network open. The reception is not the best... But the speed, especially the upload speed is much better than my DSL.
One of the things that I hated about New York when I came here were the crowded airwaves. I had brought a cordless phone from Germany and it was just impossible to use it here, because I always had the feeling I am calling some sort of Party Line. I was lucky if there was only one other conversation going on in my frequency. So I had to upgrade to 900MHz. Now the density of signal emitters is an advantage. Look ma, no hands...
Just the joy of cordless web anywhere in the house. (Yes, I blog in the bathroom.)... (I probably should have left the last one out...)
