Yes, but given I wouldn't want to climb a 350' tower in a thunderstorm, I don't expect my ISP to either.
They have grounding equipment for that. .. . put the guy in a faraday suit.
It's not all differences in electrical potential... but the gravity of the wind at that height....

Maybe its a WISP...

Not a water tower in this case.. Most of those are around 200'
Because I live in an area where only 1Mbps DSL is available so we have Wireless ISPs (WISPs)

Not everybody is privileged to have 1 Gbps Internet connections.

I have fiber to my house, but I'm only subscribed at 40MB. That's $49/mo, but I could upgrade to 1GB at $129/mo. I don't see the value there.
-
We up'd last week from 70 to 80 for $10 more per month to get out from under the 350 GB/month data cap. We now have unlimited data.

Ugh... I pay 70$/month for 50/5.

I have 30 MB with Timewarner -_-. It gets the job done I guess.

I'm paying $68/mo for 25/5. 50/5 would be around $100/mo.

I am $85/m for 30/5 right now, given what it is and where it is not bad. Frontier was charging me $75/m for the 1Mbps DSL
