Connectivity Improved

A new modem has vastly improved the connection here at the old schoolhouse and I plan to post more frequently and get back to regular Marcellus updates.  However, there is still noise on Verizon's line that is probably the root cause of the problem.  Verizon adamantly tries to avoid having to send someone out to fix problems in the best of times, with their unappreciated technical staff on strike I don;t expect to get the issue resolved any time soon.
