The internet was down when I first came to use it, so I've already been out once to the small town today.
Regarding the internet, I was checking out coverage of cellphones and internet for our area, partly because I'm looking to change my cellphone next week.
Suffice to say that it's less than brilliant in these here parts!
Now then, you peevers live all over the place, from big cities to rural parts.
Our cell phone is AT&T and it sucks in our area....dropped calls all the time, calls don't go through, don't get voice mails for hours. But, being in the rural area, it's basically the only choice here.
Our internet isn't too bad. We had Frontier telephone service in this rural area....we don't have a landline any longer, so they used my old telephone line for a DSL and we also have Dish Network through the telephone company.
LOL Hopefully I don't jinx things on internet, but it's been running fab ever since they replaced everything.
Do have a little story about cellphone coverage and how I determined the best carrier. Was living over in Bocas and was out showing property on one of the outer islands - literally hiking through the jungle. I heard a ringing sound and it took me a minute to realize it was my cellphone! Never expected to have service that far out, but sure enough I just remember thinking how cool it was to be standing in the middle of the jungle taking a biz call LOL
Oddly, I don't really know. I rarely use my cell phone, but have never had a problem getting a signal when I needed one. I probably haven't tried it out in the country, though.
As for Internet coverage, I don't understand the question. Last July I got a router in my house, and it works throughout the house. I've never tried connecting to the Internet in a public place.
I bought a new cell phone a couple of months ago and I think it has Internet capabilities, but I don't know how to use the apps yet. I pretty much only have a cell phone for emergencies, so it's not high on the priority list.

Jezer I love the ducks! We have a pond near us and every fall the duck come to visit there. Watching them fly in formation is awesome, but hearing them "talk" to each other the whole time is hilarious! My son, the mighty hunter is really big on ducks, and is a member of Ducks Unlimited. He eats what he shoots too, except for 2 that he bagged on a hunting trip to Canada. Those he had mounted in a beautiful case, dressed in a natural scene. The ducks are white, but that's all I know. LOL
Molly and her sidekick are just too cute!
We have Verizon for the cell phones and the service is very good. No real complaints.
House phone and internet (DSL Extreme) is AT&T, but the cost is outrageous!
Another good one Jezer! I don't know how you keep coming up with such great stuff, but I'm impressed and grateful that you do! You make OT lots of fun!

What's your cellphone and internet coverage like?
We have AT&T and it's terrible at our house, you have to go outside, face in a certain direction to make or hear a call. Seems to work better a few miles away.
