I wasn't paying attention to signal strength. I was running speedtest on my verizon phone to see what I might get with tethered perf or a dedicated verizon "mifi".
I was seeing ping=over 1 second
download speeds of 100kbs
upload speeds of 50kbs
Clearly working from home isn't going to be very productive with that.
Guess I could look at hughsnet. The place has a wide open south view. But ping times would still be lousy, so picky vpn stuff wouldn't be great.
This all makes a hard decision much harder.
I was a little west of the peninsula on the mainline side (just look for the for sale signs)...
Guess I could pick up an AT&T hotspot and go play with it and return it within the 30 days. Cost isn't even really an object here.
I assume the islands ate all too far away for DSL to work?
