There is a way to do it "under the radar".
In December I'm going to do my first testing of it at the sisters.
I'm 99% sure it is going to be a weener!

Satellite Internet?
No problem here in San Felipe. Several people including myself have it. Two places here to get it set up also!

Three of my neighbors in PB have access via satellite and one I know of at Papa's. Personally I enjoy being free of it.

It's worked fine for me for 4 years
We set up the system in late 2000 and power it with solar. No phone lines anywhere around here. Set up was EZ. At the time they weren't offering
the #6000 modem so you had to d/l some software...not anymore. Always works except during hurricane-style rains.

Synch,
Really sorry about that nomenclature.
PB = Punta Bufeo.
I apologize for my presumptuousness.

Satellite Internet
We just set up our direcway (lincsat in Canada) in BOLA with no difficulty. Use a GPS to determine lat and long. Enter the info and you will get
correct az, el and skew. Then disconnect the transmit box (reboot) and go to signal strength. Adjust az until you get adequate strength, then adjust
others one at a time. When signal is sufficiant, reattach transmit and reboot.

Satelitte Internet
When you click on the dish pointing part of your navigator, you will be asked to either enter a city location or if you wish to do a manual
calculation. Choose the manual calculation and enter your coordinates as shown on the GPS
