Sorry I haven't posted anything new in a while. The company providing our internet service at the church went under about a month ago without any advance warning. We just arrived at church one morning, and we could not log on to the internet. Called the guy and found out he had taken down his equipment and was no longer providing internet service.
Now, for most people that would be a minor, but brief inconvenience, but not so when you are located in the middle of a wheat field, ten miles out of town. The only option we have for high speed internet service is through some sort of wireless provider, either satellite or radio signal.
The previous company had provided us service through a radio feed. We checked into a couple of different companies that provided the same or similar types of service, but they did not have service that would reach our location. We also looked into satellite internet, but the only provider in our area said their satellite was full. (I cannot even begin to comprehend exactly what that means.)
Finally, yesterday, after being without the internet for nearly a month, we found a company that could provide us service. There is now great rejoicing among my staff.
It is amazing how dependent we have become on internet access. It is an incredible tool, but it sure does handicap you when you don't have it.
