Default British bloke gets broadband using wet string

Who needs Cat 5 ?

A UK ISP techie has managed to set up broadband cables using just wet string.

Adrian Kennard, who runs an ISP called Andrews & Arnold in the UK took the old joke among network technicians that it’s possible to get a broadband connection with two cans connected with some wet string a little seriously.

In a blog he is shown building a string based broadband connection using six feet of twine soaked in salt water (better conductivity than fresh water) connected with alligator clips to establish the connection.
