Fiber Modem

My idea is a Fiber Modem. It allows internet communication to and from anywhere, however, it has a catch. The farther away the place you're trying to send to, the longer it takes for the message to get there. So if your sending to a computer 32 blocks away, then the receiver gets the message 1 second late. If the receiver has a Fiber Modem however, then the delay is shortened by (N / 5), N being the delay if the receiver had a regular wireless modem.

Example:
M = Regular Modem, F = Fiber Modem
M > 7 blocks away > M = 0 Second delay, but the distance is limited.
F > 32 blocks away > M = 1 second delay, but virtually unlimited distance.
F > 32 blocks away > F = 0.80 second delay, but virtually unlimited distance.
M > 7 blocks away > F = 0 second delay, but limited distance.

Recipe would be:
G = Gold Ingot, E = Ender Pearl, Y = Eye of Ender
GGG
YEY
GGG

I don't think so. Kinda breaks the game, infinite range isn't needed. Besides which, you can already edit the config to increase the distance of regular modems, and MoarPeripherals has it's long-distance communication system.

If we're going to list all mods that add some sort of longer range: CCTweaks adds an inter-dimension modem, Immibiss' Peripherals has LAN Cables, then UNA, etc…

On the point about delay, it is possible - and not that hard to do. However it seems an un-necessary obstacle - ComputerCraft is more often than not about a better user experience then balance.
