Very frustrating

On Monday we had no Internet connection at all. Tuesday morning the connection came back but has been very erratic since then. It will be fine for half an hour or longer and then it will stall for five minutes or more. It isn't critical when I'm just surfing the net but when I am downloading or uploading it is a right pain in the a***.

The technology behind the satellite connection is very clever but unfortunately not 100% reliable. Still without a fixed phone line we have very few alternatives.

The dispute between the Town Hall and Telefonica which we were told had been resolved in February has not yet resulted in the cable being laid. So I guess we will just have to be patient. Hopefully we will have a landline a lot quicker than the urbanisation which waited eight years for their connection.
