Sporadic Internet
It’s funny how you get used to having internet connection, isn’t it? During our first day or so here we were lucky enough that some neighbor had wide-open wifi available with broadband internet. That network has now disappeared. We have our Blackberries so we can do basic email and browsing through them which is great but you know they are just not any substitute for a computer for many things. So we have been to Starbucks a few times but their wifi is run by TMobile and it’s expensive: $40 per month if you want to pay month by month, $30 per month if you sign up for a year, $10 per 24 hours, or $6 for an hour.
Anyway, tomorrow they should be here to install broadband and we’ve already bought the wireless base station so we’re ready. That gives us at least two days of fast internet access here where we’re staying.
