Had to pound on a sensitive nerve, huh?

The damn communication companies won't put in any decent service where I 
live.  No DSL, fiber, or cable.

I suffer with a 4G connection, with a 5 GB per month limit.

I'm figuring the politicians, with maybe some campaign contributions, 
are going to let Verizon slide on the prior commitments they made.

The Verizon 4G uses what I'll call NAT (for lack of any other name). 
They use one IP address for external access, and then set up internal IP 
addresses for the various users.  Thus, there is no way I can access my 
network from the outside.  Really sucks ....

Or, I could write what I really feel, but I fear the anti-terriorist 
squads would be on me ....
