Re: Where would you like to be?

. 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.

Re: Where would you like to be?

I would like to be right here:

I would love to have hung out today with other people, even if just to listen to this pretty-good writer (who happens to be a cutie, sure) talk about World of Warcraft. I do get to talk about WOW, of course, but that's with fourteen-year-olds. link[/url].

This is my first time posting, at least that I can remember.
Where I'd like to be right now is back on the Big Island.
It won't be long though. My son and I will be there in
February. He's not so sure he wants to be there. And this brings me to why I quoted Scrivener's comment about
WOW. My son is a serious online gamer. We're getting RR's business package for the 1.5 upload along with the 5 download. But I've heard that the latency on the neighbor
islands can really put a dent in this. Jordan's so into this he runs a server off his computer where we live now. It's not like he just plays games. He built me a new computer (at 14) and taught himself html and built his Website (homeschooled). So now that we have a furnished home to
move to (where we lived 12 years ago) in rural Puna, I'm getting nervous. 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? We're starting with turbo RR (5 down, 500 k up) and then if we are going to stay, then I'll commit to the one year with the business package. A guy on Oahu
from Oceanic said he plays WOW with a friend on Maui and they have no problem. Anyway, I want to be back in Hawaii. And I'm crossing my fingers, my son will be happy
there. He was born there and loved it as a small kid, but that was pre-computer geek days.

Mahalos,
Cindy

Re: Where would you like to be?

Checkin' in. Thank you, PM...and RN.

Sorry for the downer message. That hale is still where I'd like to be right now...even moreso than yesterday. Instead I was inside Moanalua Mortuary helping a 21 yo and an 18 yo make plans to cremate their (single) mom. They weren't `ohana before but they sure are now. After 16 years of no longer being concerned about college and grades and tuition , I am, once again, back in the fold so to speak. I am so, so rusty.

And, yes, PZ's suspicions were right on the money.

Knowing that the incredible hale in my first post is not an option right now, I'll just settle for home.

Oh I am so sorry. How terribly sad.

Your first post just didn't seem like a casual statement.

Jonah, you gotta cut down those albizias! And you don't need a tractor; you need a couple of goats.

I'd probably need a few herds of goats because that's a 105-acre parcel.

This place, of course. Forget the pumpkin pie--we'd have a much better Thanksgiving Day feast with some coco puffs, chantilly cake, and custard pie.

Re: Where would you like to be?

Doh! Something happen to your moving plans?

I know how you feel. We're barely into the short days and gray weather and it's already driving me nutty. And to make it worse, I signed up for all these travel alerts for cheap Hawai`i fares. Guess what's on sale right now...

We can't go anywhere until after December though (wife's school).

Hubby's been very sick, just pouting today

Re: Where would you like to be?

But I am not destined to be where I wish I was. I am destined to be here....
Until I die apparently!! :P
