• 199? We made it work in Tucson Arizona on Cox Cable between
Pima Community College and the University of Arizona
• 2014 You can make in to work better in Boquete
• But it is all about bandwidth, plumbing 101
3. Bandwidth you buy is not
always what you get
• Imagine some plumbing analogies
• Your Provider (ISP) has a ten inch pipe to the Internet
• He sells you a 1 inch pipe from his 10 inch pipe
• He sells 10 other people a 1 inch pipe; no problems
• If he sells 100 people a 1 inch pipe and only 10 use it at
once, no problem.
• If all 100 use it at once there is not enough pipe
4. What is the Best Internet
Service
• Terrestrial service is usually better than radio
• When available Cable is best, DSL C&W next
• WIFI services next and satellite a last resort option

contract or lack of contract
