Broadband by satellite!



Hooray!This is quick!


We've spent the last week fixing and installing a Tooway satellite system.

It was ordered online last week. Arrived within 3 days, constructed and erected at the week-end!

At that point things got tricky and we are.... oh so lucky... in having friends Mike ( & Jenni)...who enjoys tinkering with computers ( I'm trying...and failing...in describing him as a computer nerd!!...which sounds like an insult...but no, he's a hero!) Anyhow, Mike & Jenni came over, had a bite of lunch and sorted the parabola inline with the satellite.

I now have a phone line that is still free whilst I'm online....no more friends complaining that they can never get hold of us as somebody's always online!!

And, of course, it's so much faster!

Next step..'Skype'...and 'routers'!
