Ground Station Alpha

This is ground control to Major Tom.. our internet is now routed via satellite to get us off the dreaded dialup. Its a big dish but hasn't pulled over the post we dug in during -15 degree windchill and snow storm last week.

The connection is certainly faster than dialup but not super fast like the 2mb DSL (broadband down the phone line) we had in the UK.

We have a "no contract" payment plan which although more expensive for set up means if other options become available we can move to cheaper alternatives quickly.
