That is a great idea, unfortunately I don't know where to find another
location for this. I actually planned on getting a separate cable
line. I already have cable coming in so I'm not sure if they can give
me "another" line (do you know if they can do this?) Also, I may
just get a dsl line and do it that way...probably have the server on
cable and have Brighthouse increase my upload speed and have my
personal network on the dsl line (I don't consider dsl as being as
reliable as cable in my area, I've had many issues with it in past).
