Saying "NEVER" in the computer world is pretty dangerous.  They've run a

miles.  Now, in the arena of pen-testing....I don't think 10 miles is a
reasonable goal although, if I had a client on the side of a mountain
and I could connect to their network from another mountain 10 miles away
and penetrate their network, that would be a VERY good case for an
attack that wouldn't arouse much suspicion about "odd characters"
hanging around nearby;)

Speaking of mountains:

I guess there's an exception to every rule.  Enormous geographic
phenomena aside, you can't throw 10mi ground-to-ground because of the
curvature of the Earth.  No matter how kick-ass your antenna is. :)
