infrastructure · 2019-10 · Denman Island

Two minor internet access options relying on radio transmission are discussed: tethering a cell phone and satellite-based service via Xplornet. Cell phone tethering is expensive and limited by coverage, while Xplornet requires clear line of sight and has latency issues. The Hornby Internet Committee is conducting a survey to assess community support for improved internet services.
