A recent thread was discussing where all are members are from. A separate issue I'm interested in, is how all our members access this site.
We had a storm go thru here Tues. night and lightning knock out our statillite tower. We have wireless service, needing direct line to the tower. They got it going today but it took 35 min. to get my router talking with their radio. Only other option out in this rural area is dial up and we don't have a land-line. The service has been very reliable, but Mother Nature does happen.
I've been wondering how our members from around the world access the net? It has become something we rely on and when it's down it's missed.
