I'm in a funky kinda mood haha

I should also mention that I have an elaborate setup for my trailer. The house that my trailer piggybacks off of is in the middle of nowhere with literally no neighbours at the very end of the line. The trailer is some 200 feet behind the house in the bush under a bunch of walnut trees.

And yes... I know... I still have some cleaning up to do. I was more concerned with getting everything working initially than I was about making it all pretty.

Simply put, I could only get legacy copper ADSL in the house, but because of the extreme distance from where the CO/SLAM are to where the modems are, I in theory didn't qualify to be able to get anything more than 1.5m/512k on a single line. This is just on the other side of the wall from where the lines run to the NID on the side of the house. I pimped up all the wiring to CAT5e all the way to the modems so that I could get each line up to 4m/800k.

I then got not one, but FOUR ADSL lines and put them together into a single line with 4x the speed. The big black box strapped to the wall is the DSL bonder. It's what connects through each of the 4 DSL modems into my provider, then puts the lines together into a single line. The little box to the right of it is the router/firewall/NAT for my network. The DSL bonder feeds the single line into this box, where it then connects out to all my equipment.

Below the bonder are 4 switches so that I can connect both the bonder and the router to each modem so that I have full remote access of everything across the network, even out in the trailer. The white boxes on the shelf below the switches are the modems for the 4 DSL lines. On the shadow board to the left of the internet equipment are the four POTS splitters for the four DSL lines, and the black box at the bottom to the left of that is the VoIP adapter, which makes the phone line out to the trailer work.

All of this then funnels down into a single cable that runs to the opposite corner of the basement to a switch that joins all the internal equipment together. There is a line that connects to this switch, runs out the outside wall, then disappears down into the ground and runs the 200 foot distance to my trailer while underground. It comes back out of the ground at the back of the trailer, where it then comes into the trailer and ends at a network jack on the wall inside the trailer where my WiFi router for the trailer connects to it so that everything from where the internet begins, all the way to the trailer itself is either underground or indoors, and it does not become wireless until it's inside the trailer.

For the record, this setup manages to get me able to pull 13mbit/3mbit at any time, in any weather, even in the trailer. It's not the fastest connection out there, but it's at least fast enough to watch scary movies (among other things) in 1080p HD and a glorious 5.1ch surround sound. This setup was originally inspired by all the people who told me that I would never be able to do such a thing in a trailer some 200 feet into the bush in the middle of nowhere, especially when that trailer acts as a giant Faraday cage for ALL radio signals. The WiFi works GREAT inside the trailer, as it does not become wireless at any point, in any way, until it is already inside the trailer.

Does this setup look as intimidating as some people tell me that it looks? It's super custom.

@john32123666 Now I'm in a really cheeky mood.... I am now listening to this

It was written during the cold war, but given the situation in the Ukraine, it's just as applicable today as it was back when it was written. It's a very happy and joyful sounding tune for something so dark and gloomy. That's why I like it! LOL
