New ISP

Our life in PNG just got a little bit better - we have a new Internet Service Provider. It's not the same as we are used to in Canada, but it's a big improvement from what we've been using for the past year. The speed is 6 times faster and we have 10 times the data available. We can even watch Netflix occasionally and have FaceTime chats again. We still have to monitor our usage and ration it out over the month, but it's a huge step up.

How do we get this fancy new internet? Well, it's certainly not a fibre-optic line nor is it a copper telephone line. We have an antenna on our balcony to receive the signal from a radio tower. Now I know how Marconi felt in 1901.
Anyway, we are very happy to have faster internet access. Now Lori can watch dog videos on the weekends.
