Actually, I have a pic handy. Here's a crop. You can barely see the houses, but the green arrow is pointing to a very small village quite far. That's a pic taken from my window. I am impressed i am getting a 802.11n signal this far.

ISP will install an antenna/router (don't know what brand/model yet) just at the same window this pic was taken from, in clear view of the "remote" village. From their device(s), which will present a standard Ethernet interface with DHCP, I'll build my home network (WRT54G only, for now. Depending how the signal porpagates through the thick old walls, I'll see if I need a repeater or not).
