Maybe those that aren't cursing are lucky enough to not have to toil in a shitrix environment over a skinny latent link. Oops, did that sound bitter?

One of the main reasons I quit facecrack over a year ago was when I saw my face on a classmates banner ad at the bottom of a page.

Check out Ubiquiti's AirView product. $39 for a 2.4Ghz analyzer. No, really. I have a couple of these and they work. Granted, it's not a $24K Anritsu, but it will get you started. You may just need to switch channels, and this guy will show you if there's noise that it can hear.

Heh. Where's a boy and his flying snake when you need them?

Order yourself a nice high power jammer from dealextreme and make the problem go away. The best part is that the cellular networks are already somewhat inherently unreliable, so when you force someone's call to drop, they just accept it. It never even crosses their mind that someone could be deliberately interfering. I've heard that it's very satisfying to see the loudmouth in the train car suddenly shut up and scowl at a phone that now displays no service.

I find your analogy to be somewhat flawed. A better analogy would be like the city or municipality forcing your car open when you don't hand over the keys after you've called to have your street repaired.

You could run off a charger and batteries to smooth any power bumps from the genny.
