This post's packets are coming to you from a mesh network. From a fixed wireless ISP in Grass Valley, CA, and my packets are routed through at least one neighbor's house before hitting wire. A lot of rural America relies on WISPs like this because the telco duopoly has failed us. I'd much prefer wired service; it's faster, more reliable, and lower latency. But AT&T and Comcast refuse to run a wire an extra half mile and the FCC won't make them.
