We got new internet!
Yes, I know that comment is so 1995, but you have no idea!
Yes, there is cable internet or DSL or broadband in Costa Rica - but not down here in Ojochal - they have some coverage in the village, but not beyond and not further south - the population centres are just too small and the topography is ever changing making line of sight placement of towers useful for only a few homes.
So, we have struggled with various versions of satellite or cellular - never able to get about 512K download (despite claims and promises). Blogging, Facebook, banking - all painfully slow.
All that changed yesterday - SKYFIBER !! They installed a repeater across the valley and we can get service - - - 6MB download (well 4.5 when you really measure it but hey). I feel like I am driving a Ferrari on the autobahn.
Not without a cost - $125 a month! Never thought I would miss Rogers service 50MB for $90.
So along with the internet came a nice sunny day - a gentle rain a few times, but beautiful!
Everyone needs a fast internet connection, nobody likes to wait for hours to download something, specially if you are a movie lover or gamer. There are affordable solutions out there like Acanac, always do some research so you don't have to face issues later.
