So, here is the first installment of the battle against Ukrtelecom in pursuit of some “WOW”-worthy internet. It turns out the existing line is not of adequate quality for ADSL. The segment resistance is 1100 Ohm, distance is under a kilometer — maybe the specialists will have something to say about the telecom folks?
And if the chukcha wants internet, then let the chukcha run a new line. But the chukcha is no fool (and, between us — not a chukcha at all :), so he decided to get away with minimal effort. The key decision was proposed and agreed upon: run the line through the air. Between the trees, yep. Through an area roamed by packs of alcoholics who, out of the wholesome childlike curiosity typical of all idiots, might easily yank on a rope — just to see if something rings somewhere.
But — willy-nilly, with a heavy heart, we did run that pair, as can be seen in the phohto. It came out rather crooked, despite my diligent humming of “we are high-rise riggers, oh yeah”…
That’s me on the pole

| Garages,
| trees…. Beautiful!
