   And sometimes you learn something from what   
   doesn't work the way you thought it would too.   
      
   I have in fact done that with the medion repeater.

   That's harder given that I don't have the hardware to do that.   
      
   I'm currently helping quite a few with our VDSL2 rollout   
   and that has the big advantage that the modem synch   
   rate is trivially available to see how well the estimate   
   worked out. And with the RSP who has shown up from   
   Singapore with a big splash here with very low prices.   
   And with the current price war with cellphone telcos   
   which has produced $10/month for unlimited calls and   
   texts to any landline or cellphone in the country with   
   varying amounts of data, around 1GB on a 4G+ service.

   Irritating, anyway.
