helping to put together our new VSAT (satellite internet) dish.
I was the only one who didn't need a ladder!
Geek details: 3.7 meter, C-band (goes through rain better than our old KU-band)
I'm pretty excited about this, because it reduces the cost of our internet usage by about 25% in the long run. Which means I can upload more pictures for the same price, or the same for less money!
Also it means that our internet connection won't go down during the (near daily) rain storms we have.
It has been a lot of work setting up routing and testing the connection and working with our new Hong Kong based ISP to get things set up how we like them, but after 1 month of tweeking and working, TODAY we saw the best performance we have yet.

We're growingly happy with the new technology, and it's a huge win for everyone who lives and works here. We will hopefully go LIVE with it very soon.
