Tietokoneesta hakupyyntö solahtaa ensin laajakaistamodeemiin ja siitä lankapuhelimen vanhaa kuparijohtoa pitkin kellariin. Asun kerrostalossa, joten nettiyhteys ulkomaailmaan kulkee kellarissa sijaitsevan talojakamon kautta.

Tätä kaapelia posotetaan joitakin satoja metrejä. Going Google in Your School. SLP for Education. 19 Handy Google Tricks That You Weren’t Aware Of.
