O3B recently received approval to add additional satellites to have global coverage. Time for Crystal to start planning.

As for the planning comment -- I suspect that's been going on for a while. Quietly and behind the scenes. Unlike in the previous regime of ER, there have been few vaporware announcements from Crystal HQ
I was going to post "crappy" instead of "pokey," but pokey is more fun because he was gumby's friend.drib wrote:{responding to Keith1010} I'm more curious about why there is no "time edited" date stamp there than I am about the deleted text. Are there some permissions that come with achieving X posts that I don't have as a Cool Cruiser?
Getting back on topic ... could you, would you, pay for better Internet service - more bandwidth for you, or whatever the terminology - like you pay for additional dinners at Prego? Or does everybody just get the same pokey Internet service?

There were two sets of railroad tracks, and pokey had his hoof caught in the switch mechanism where the tracks shifted over. To save him, gumby had to throw the switch, and he did so just before the train went by. pokey was saved, and they became buddies from then on.
how gumby and pokey met
You see, he completely missed my point!Keith1010 wrote:... As to the question about Pay for service...........The service on all those recent voyages was not pokey........It was quite good......The solution is getting whatever happened fixed...........No need to charge..........They used to charge.........When they went inclusive they upgraded the systems sufficiently that it was a pleasure to use.
drib wrote:I didn't mean to charge everyone. I think guests that have a business they need to attend to might want to pay extra to get a little more bandwidth, not unlike some passengers pay extra to dine at the specialty restaurants more than once. I know that on my home service, I can pay more with no change in equipment for more speed. (I don't do that because only the speed tester would be faster; 100 mbps is fast enough!)

Ixnay on the Keith1010ay! I know a guy - no, guys - no, members because there's no way to tell if they were guys - that were auf'd from that other message board for pressing a line of questioning like this.Stickman1990 wrote:{responding to drib about keith1010's posts not having edit time stamps} Did this ever get answered?
I know the answer, though, it's because he's a secret moderator.
