Decent internet in cave country?

Not likely to happen so don’t hold your breath. I don’t rinse my gear now and I have no urge to start. And your water is too warm.

It is only about 3 degrees or (less) warmer than the springs right now.

Would unincorporated areas be covered???

No problem Pete, you lay the 15miles of fiber optics, with 2 repeaters and they will be delighted to hook it up to their switchbox - for a price.
I'm afraid that you'll have to stay with the old semaphore flags for data transmission.

Baby steps, guys. Like I said, the first step is to get her south of Valdosta. Don’t try for all of it at once. Once she gets used to 72*, then we can remind her of all the cool wrecks just down the road..... and with virtually the same temperature water....

She’ll swear at us and say no way... But I’ve quit listening after all the other no way’s I’ve heard.

Meant 100% kindly and supportively — but also 100% seriously. I’ve got time...

1000Base-EX is good for 40 km. Repeaters for 1000Base-LX (10km) are cheap and low power. 40km of OS2... less so. But worth it...

The lighting it up on their end.... not priceless: they’ll happily put a bigger price than I’m ready for!

It would appear Tbone and T Massey both had the same recommendation as me. Rum house, while slow, is fast enough to work from. I have stayed there 5 weeks in the last two months.

It depends, but probably. We have over 40 programs—Broadband being only one. So, I will refer to our catalog of programs and also the local website Contact Page and eligibility site. I hope this helps, but please feel free to contact me via DM if you need further assistance.

Nah, EX optics will certainly cover 15 miles without repeaters.

As I. I sent a PM with the same recommendations... though I didn't know how fast or slow it was.

Run CAT6 instead of cave line for maximum in-cave connectivity

Oh I promise I'm not holding my breath.

You don't know stink until you dive in saltwater for a few days without rinsing your gear

You know that rotten leaves/dirty pond water that your gear gets when diving feshwater?
Now add dead rotting fish scent on top of that...
