Hey Ted,
I was thinking about what you said about backgrounds programs running, slowing
things down. I do notice a difference between my tablet and laptop speed,
laptop being significantly slower. I can't shut too much down as often I have a
lot running because I need it, including VPN. VPN slows things down noticeably,
interestingly on my tablet too. So when you say wizard, did you use a specific
program you would recommend?
Hey Warwick L,
On to Warwick Broadband. If my household could get speeds fast enough to get
rid of our Direct TV package, we'd save a bunch of money. If we could get
speeds allowing us to do phone through our Internet, we'd save even more money.
If we could get a dinky little cell phone tower thing like Terry has, we would
be super happy! Hey, so instead of paying all that money to these huge greedy
corporations, we'd be keeping it local so to speak. Remember, super happy
people make great neighbors!

The issue of the loan to Warwick Broadband is pretty simple. We have an
ongoing successful operation that generates a cash surplus. It has a good
credit rating. It borrowed money from the town to get started, paid it back
ahead of schedule. It has paid its bills on time as far as I know. It has
also lowered the cost to connect to the service. It now wants to borrow
again at a cost of capital well below market rate available to the general
public to significantly improve service. To me this is a no brainer.
The system is voluntary. If anyone is unhappy with the service, they do not
have to be a part of it. If they are unhappy and hope that it will get
better, they should support the effort. Since the loans get paid back, no one
is supporting the system with their tax dollars in the long run.
On a side note. Our service became awful. It was very, very slow and the we
kept losing our connection. It turns out the problem was too many programs
running the background. A computer wizard shut down the programs so they
only get called up when needed and our internet connection improved
amazingly. Based on our experience, I would suggest if you have a slow
connection shut off all the programs running in the background. Or, maybe go
to someone's house that has a "good" connection and hook up and see how your
speed compares to theirs. You can also go to the site that determines your
download, upload and ping times.
