No doubt that big tower "thingie" (the giant yellow golf ball/basketball/take your choice) interferes with the high-speed internet waves we all need...

You'll get better wifi down in Chattanooga, where the city provides it as a utility (and the cable company lobbyists got a law passed to try to stop that anywhere else in the state - let's all here it for monopolies!).
Well, at least you've got some interesting information to share with other people . . . .

Someone, maybe Alphabet (the name of the basket of companies created that includes Google), has talked about putting a satellite or two up in the sky and letting it beam down wi-fi all over the place somehow or another. I hope that the lobbyists don't put the kibosh on that, too.
