. Do any of you have any good news on
the latency and online gaming (the slower games like WOW) or just how it plays out with the higher speed cable connections?
Rural Puna is fast becoming "the Burbs". As for RR it's not available in quite a few places in Puna especially down near the ocean, and from what others here on the Big Island tell me, when it rains heavily, they lose connection.
Hah? I thought RR was all cable. My brother in law works for Oceanic running fiber optic lines all over Oahu tells me that sometimes you cannot connect with landlines so a microwave repeater is used to translate the cable signals thru inaccessable areas. That could explain the loss of signal during heavy rain. And as you probably know, it rains a lot in Puna.
One of the more popular broadband alternatives out here is Wireless Broadband and there are several companies serving Puna including Coconut Wireless and Advanced Wireless. I am on Advanced Wireless and until recently I'm getting pretty reliable service. Albeit not the fastest I am getting 525Kbs download and 236Kbs upload speeds. Much faster than dial up which was the only available portal to the internet a year ago in my area.
Life is what you make of it...so please read the instructions carefully.
