Hi Gman!
Hubby is back home, a bit battered <g> but ok. Diabetes is not the easiest
of illnesses, but we´ll manage!
As I told Sandi, the connection will depend on how close is her link to a
radio tower and if there is no interference between her and said tower.
Where I live there are lots of mountains and valleys the worse place for
this kind of connection. You really should be able to "see" the tower for a
good connection. Having said all this I am glad I am finally going to get
broadband which I still think is the best... I have been fighting for 2
years with the phone company that provides it here, and I finally won :o))

Hi Lil,
I'm sorry to hear about hubby and hope things are looking up by now.
It's disappointing to hear of your bad connections with the ISP,
especially since I basiccally convinced Sandi to put Hughes on hold
indefinitely, but at least she'll get to test things out for a bit without
commitment. Hopefully her experience will not mirror yours. On the other
foot (I'm tired of always picking on the hand lol), it's good to hear
that you're finally getting a land line broadband account. Congrats!
:O)
Peace,
Gman
