Rumours have it that every home that installs gets a wireless router and an antenna on the roof - effectively expanding Vista's wireless network at the same time. If enough people sign up, this would allow seamless wireless coverage for the whole area *at a profit* to Vista."

    If it's wireless, then it's not a Digital Subscriber Line.

    Does anyone know what hardware they're using? I would guess Nokia Rooftop because that's the only equipment of this type I've heard of.
