So we have decided to stay close to home and relax. Later this year we are going to fly to India in October. So better to just relax as that will take a lot out of us.
I have to say if you are not using proper broadband.....wake up!!! It is getting cheaper and cheaper. I hope my brother in law switches to broadband because then chats will be so NICE in actual HD instead of the odd heavily pixellated interaction we have now. We get heavy lag because of well...3g with tens of thousands of users sharing the same wireless access points, in addition to the fact that structures further degrade signal strength DSL or even better fiber optic is the way to go.
Right now the boys are streaming some video in HD playing a game, while Yogi and I are downloading streaming at the same time. There is no lag at all. Since we use Netflix my hard drives are thanking me. BUT this would not be possible with out a generous broadband connection. 100 Mbits is very nice too. Heck 50 Mbits is very nice. 1-3 Mbits....nope will not cut it.
On another note....routers need active cooling folks. I have a laptop cooler and an usb fan blowing on the router, with out it...it would overheat and BOOM we would have no connection to the internet. In India, I used the laptop cooler and it was enough. At that time we only had 3 pcs and 2 ipad2's using the bandwidth. These cute little USB fans are going be needed going forward.
Ok I think I need to stop rambling about tech.
