   My new company is currenly working on delivering wireless broadband through good ole H2O. That's right, soon your high speed internet will be available through your very own TAP WATER.
   
   Sure, we don't have any working products yet, but believe me, WE WILL. Just you wait. Why would I make this shit up? Seriously, we'll do it. I swear. I'd say we're about 73% done with the research and about 63% done with our finished working product.
   
   WATCH OUT WI-MAX AND COMCAST!!!

   Just think about the bandwidth you'd have during a flood though. It's like a wet dream .

    Broadband over sewage? I don't think I would want to have the router set up in my living room.
