MOHAVE BROADBAND

FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS I’VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH THE “FREE” WI-FI AVAILABLE HERE IN THE RV PARK.  NOW IN THE HIGH SEASON WITH LOT’S OF RV’S HERE IT’S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET ON LINE, THERE JUST ISN’T ENOUGH BAND WIDTH AVAILABLE.

NORMALLY WHEN I GET HOME FROM WORK LATE AT NIGHT I’M ABLE TO GET ON AND READ MY BLOGS AND NEWSPAPERS, UNLESS THE SYSTEM HAS CRASHED AND NEEDS TO RE-BOOTED.

LAST WEEK ONE DAY AFTER BEING WITHOUT INTERNET FOR TWO DAYS I GOT UP AT 5 AM TO USE THE CONNECTION, AND IT NEEDED TO BE RE-BOOTED.  I HAVE A KEY TO THE SECERT JANITOR’S CLOSET WHERE THE MODEM AND ROUTER ARE STORED, BUT IT’S A BIT OF A HIKE IN THE PITCH DARK AND COLD.

WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE CAMPER I STILL COULDN’T GET CONNECTED !!!

THAT CRACKED MY SWISS TEMPER WHICH IS USAULLY UNDER CONTROL. MY SWISS TEMPER SEEMS TO CALMLY BUILD UP THINGS THAT PISS ME OFF AND STORE THEM, THEN THE SLIGHTEST LITTLE THING WILL TRIGGER AN EXPLOSION.

I WAS PISSY ALL DAY AND ATTACKED THINGS THAT ANNOYED ME.  CUPBOARDS GOT REARRANGED, A NEW VACUUM CLEANER WAS BOUGHT, LOTS OF SHIT GOT THROWN OUT, AND I BOUGHT INTERNET SERVICE.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, WHEN MY TEMPER BLOWS YOU DON’T WANT TO BE ANYWHERE AROUND ME, AND A FEW DAYS LATER I ASKED MARY HOW MANY TIMES SHE’S SEEN ME HAVE ONE OF THESE TEMPER TANTRUMS?  HER ANSWER WAS ABOUT SIX TIMES OVER THE LAST FOURTEEN YEARS.  ODDLY ENOUGH IT’S USUALLY EXTREMELY HOT WEATHER WHEN THEY OCCUR.

WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING THINGS LIKE INTERNET SERVICE, CELL PHONE, OR SATELLITE TV MY MIND DOESN’T SEEM TO SEE THE LOW MONTHLY RATE OF $49.95, BUT INSTEAD SCREAMS WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY $600 A YEAR FOR INTERNET? OR $800 A YEAR TO WATCH TV? I KNOW, I KNOW, GET OVER IT REX…..

BUYING INTERNET SERVICE IS A BIT OF CHALLENGE FOR ME AS I DON’T HAVE A PHONE LINE, CABLE TV, OR AN AIR CARD.

I WENT WITH A COMPANY CALLED MOHAVE BROADBAND FOR UNLIMITED INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDED WIRELESSLY THROUGH THIS ANTENNA.

GREAT INTERNET SURFING CAN’T BE FAR BEHIND.  WE’RE BOTH EXCITED TO CHECK OUT YOU TUBE VIDEOS, SKYPE, PLAYING POKER, AND WHAT EVER ELSE NORMAL INTERNET USERS GET. I’M GUESSING MY OLE LAPTOP WILL BE NEXT TO GO, AND FOR $600 A YEAR AND TWO YEAR CONTRACT, THIS CONNECTION BETTER BE PERFECT.
