Good Internet News
I have been testing Navega today. Now I have been testing a fast
connection as we just installed 394K which is expensive. However the
quality is excellent. Upload and download speeds are fast. At the
moment the connection off the island is not as good as it could be and
takes longer than it should do. But you will not notice unless you are
running test software like mine. However I am assured by an engineer
that this is because they have not switched their main connection on
which will come up in a few days. Of course this being Roatan I will
reserve my judgment until I see it in action. The speed is excellent
both ways and if you wanted to do VOIP (packet8, Skype etc. it would
work well)
As I test it further over the next few days I will give you more details.
One of the best features though is the cheap install only $500 I
believe and it is using WiMax receivers that do not need line of sight
and have a range of 9 miles none line of sight. So the install
literally too about 30 seconds once they had access to the roof.
The only way this island is going to improve its infrastructure is
competition and this the quality of the internet so far seems very
high. Even initially I would highly recommend it to any commercial or
business on the island that requires a good connection.
More info as it comes and I will update my report on
www.lifeonroatan.com as soon as I have the final information on
pricing etc.
Regards all
