[Island Girl]

And there is a big hill in the way for a large part of the broadside on Rattlesnake Island.

Satellite has latency problems with present difficulties for VPN users. I use a Verizon wireless 5220 card for access. It's speed averages about 60k ... sometimes more sometimes less. You will not get better than 26.6 for dialup on Rattlesnake.

This wireless card does not work on Sleeper's (Rattlesnake side) so I assume it communicates with that tower way off on a hill NE from the broadside of Rattlesnake.

This card costs about $200 with rebates and the service is $80 per month. Since it works most places that you can connect to a Verizon cell phone it is pretty nifty, albeit very slow compared to other solutions.

Now if someone would put a nice wifi router on Wolfeboro or Tunfotboro neck and aim it our way, we would be all set. Anyone, anyone... we can share the costs.
