Andy these are *outstanding!

I first tried them around 11:30 UTC; initial rate 36-54M at close range
(4 feet), at 30' the rates seem to top out at 48M.

I used speakeasy.net/speedtest and regardless of the bit rate am getting
speeds 6700 kbps which is less than 100kbps lower than I get directly
connected to the modem.

However with one intervening brick wall performance drops dramatically
(1M bit rate/700 kbps).
