I use Vaseline petroleum jelly. I buy it in the squeeze tubes. They put a nice toothpaste-sized dollup of the jelly in the cable connector. Using a wrench to tighten down the connector squeezes the jelly out of the connection, eliminating any avenue for water. My connections sit in the...

Neutron, I have a floating cabin in rural British Columbia Canada. My "landlord" has DirecPC internet (which I assume is an old name for DirecWAY). I connect to his DirecPC system via wireless routers to get my internet access, with his computer as the gateway and proxy. It is very fast...
