| British bloke gets broadband using wet string Who needs Cat 5 ? A UK ISP techie has managed to set up broadband cables using just wet string. Adrian Kennard, who runs an ISP called Andrews & Arnold in the UK took the old joke among network technicians that it’s possible to get a broadband connection with two cans connected with some wet string a little seriously. In a blog he is shown building a string based broadband connection using six feet of twine soaked in salt water (better conductivity than fresh water) connected with alligator clips to establish the connection. http://fudzilla.com/news/45186-briti...ing-wet-string |
