More Internet Woes

Internet is down here on Moose Mountain ... again. Granted, there was a lightning storm last night, but after being "down" for a month in late spring/early summer it's hard to give our provider the benefit of a doubt. This is what we get for $44.95 a month :-(.

Our "task force" for broadband in rural Hanover met with the phone company and learned if we can get DSL out here it will be 5-6 times faster than our current radio provider for $17.95 per month (I think that's the number they said, if not, it's close) for the first year. They didn't tell us what the second year would be, but if it is dependable I almost don't care.

Frustrated? You could say so.

Now I'm off to the Tommy Keane Invitational golf tournament after which I'll have to park myself in town to use wireless and get the job done I was hired to do because dial-up (which I'm using now) is simply too slow.
