It's not long ago that I lived in such a house, deceptively close to the
outskirts of town but in terms of wire distance and load coils it might as well
have been on the moon. The house was in a wireless dead zone by a river, there
was no cable, and the only line of sight to another structure was through
several acres of 2.4GHz-absorbing trees.
The further you move away from urban centres, the easier it is to find examples
