Thanks so much for putting this blog en...Dave,<br /> Thanks so much for putting this blog entry into park, puttin her in reverse and answering my question about Mifi! <br /> I wasn't around (with listening ears anyway) to enjoy the mono FM music (born in 67). But, I do distintly remember the enjoyableness of recording Foghat onto an 8 track, do I get points and credit?<br /> The Mifi sounds like an all around good deal for you and I assume it works well because you get good cellphone strength there at casa Winjama? Now for the big question (dunn-dunn-dunnnnn) Can Mifi handle a large data load like skype or watching videos on youtube?<br /> I ran across a really good article a few days back about how Belize is way behind the internet curve (ranking almost last in the Carribean, just above Haiti). The good news is the article was about a year old and the Belizian government responded favoribly to investing into Belizian internet infrastructure. I guess there is this 'hub' thing that analizes where on the WWW you are going, if it's local (most searches are) then it reduces the ping time it takes for the request to meet the actual server where the info is. Currently the 'hub' for Belize is in Miami and New York...If they install one of these hub gizmos in Belize City, it will speed the internet experience up for all, weeding out the requests that reside on servers in Belize from those outside Belize.<br /> Sorry for the long response, I'm jazzed that we got an honorable mention in blog posting 899!<br /> Howdy to you and the Mrs.<br /><br />RodneyMr. Panchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14264889207307655647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-69836851682492494492013-09-26T09:24:41.722-06:002013-09-26T09:24:41.722-06:00Hi Wilma,

Plus we had tacos from our fav roadside stand for breakfast. Ummmm, good!<br /><br />We haven't got landline comms either. We do have cable for TV run down the road, just not hooked up.<br /><br />It's good to hear from you. Thanks for the comment.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />DaveDave Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038109966699072504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-8900516305324026732013-09-26T09:10:46.329-06:002013-09-26T09:10:46.329-06:00Hope you and the doggies finally can get your walk...Hope you and the doggies finally can get your walkies tomorrow!<br /><br />Wish we could use MiFi down here! Sounds like a very good deal for you. We went with ViaSat from Computer Ranch in Spanish Lookout. It is even more expensive than Hughesnet, but is much more robust. We have had only a handful of 15 minute interruptions in service, usually in the middle of thunderstorms. Our Smart signal, even with a booster, let us limp by using phone dongles for the months prior to ViaSat installation; the slow speed was painful. With our remote location, we don't have landlines for phone signal. We feel that ViaSat is worth the expense since it is our primary means of contact with the outside world. So far, we are very happy with ViaSat.<br /><br />Now - hope your weather is good enough for you to go outside and play!<br /><br />Cheers, <br />WilmaWilmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717012784233946753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-4735199049980280852013-09-26T08:08:16.296-06:002013-09-26T08:08:16.296-06:00Good morning David,

I'll correct the text for those folks who don't read the comments.<br /><br />Thanks for being alert so early in the day.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />DaveDave Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038109966699072504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-88377135813117350122013-09-26T07:35:12.980-06:002013-09-26T07:35:12.980-06:00Glad to hear your road is on the mend.
