Farewell to the satellite 2021
Hi -We signed up with (expletive deleted) service provider when we first moved away from dial-up maybe fifteen years ago or more. Them were the days; the telephone bills ran up by the kids almost had us living in a pothole and eating gravel for breakfast. The service provided by our (expletive deleted) provider was bad to begin with and gradually got worse. When Q-sat arrived we signed up at once as we could see the sky from our house. The service from Q-sat and later F-sat has always been excellent; it may have been limited in present day terms but it was sufficient to our needs. Problems that arose over the years were few and far between. Techie support always was really supportive the few times a problem arose; the techie support people always were very 'supportive' and knowledgeable. We are leaving F-sat with a great deal of regret but the satellite link has died of old age and would cost a fair bit to replace. Our new link seems to have little or no techie support available; this may be a problem at some stage for someone who started his working life as a boy milking cows by hand in candlelight. (tell that to a modern kid and you may have to explain the terms "milking", "cows", "by hand" and "candlelight") As mentioned, we are leaving with a great deal of regret. The satellite has been something of an old friend for many years. We may be back! Slan agus beannacht. James and Ann Farrell.
