The bandwidth can be quite good and the streaming performance likewise. But some of your applications will not be happy with the long latency caused by the distance of the satellite hop and you may need to tweak a bunch of your internet settings in your OS and/or applications. It can be done without too much trouble, but if you do not do it performance, particularly in interactive environments can really suck (technical term.)Leave a comment:

Well John I will miss you 2. Been fun. To show respect to you this will be last post on the Forum for sometime. I am sitting in NOLA airport right now and my flight is getting ready to board for Panama. So fair well to you and everyone else.Is this for real??
The man sometimes caused me to chew 4" nails and spit them out as thumb tacks in frustration at his ability to not read my posts and others correctly.
BUT his electrical knowledge in many areas was vast and I even learnt a few things that I was not really knowledgable about.
I will miss him it just wont be the same without his posts concerning my posts..
If he really is going to another country Iwish him well. I knowwhat its olike as I work in Australia but part time in Philippines and soon be retiring there permanently.
Don't worry I will be back sooner than you may think. Looks like I solved the internet problem down there. Well I did not solve it Dish Network did as they now offer Satellite up/down links for Internet service. Town I live in does not have internet other than DSL. No CATV at all. Looks like Dish will be getting a new customer very soon. Pretty cool as I can watch about any USA loacl channel I want. Even Dallas and my home town Tulsa OK.
So long guys, see you later.

Yep shipped it all down there. Even have a 5/8 20 M dipole erected disguised as a flag pole. Have not connected anything and will have to get a Panamanian license first which should be easy since USA license are reciprocal privilege I think. MY PE License TX, OK, NM, AZ is reciprocal there and allows me to work as a engineer on the Canal project.
But yep very well insulated from attacks on the USA down there if it should happen. No country wants to see the Canal damaged.

retired in Panama
Hope that all works out, SOLAR will loose some of its entertainment (and
technical) value. Will the HAM radio continue from there? Maybe
you will miss out on the action when the Iranians, N Korea, and CCCP
decide to let loose their nukes. Bruce RoeLeave a comment:

Thanks guys. FWIW third time I have retired. What is ironic wife is already there working at a clinic. She loves practicing medicine there and only works 3 days a week part time. As for me will start my 4th career working for the goberment of all things working on the Canal expansion and electrical generation. Any of you that have followed me know I am not a fan of goberment, especially liberal goberment. However some might think the goberment is liberal which is not quite accurate. They are pretty much true Libertarians with a slight lean to the left when it comes to medical care.
Anyway once I get settled in I will drop in, but going to be really busy. It is a PIA moving to another country. We made it as easy as possible by selling most everything except vehicles that have to be crated/shipped, clothes, and personal effects.
Anyway off to bed got a early flight tomorrow.
God Bless

Make that a round of golf and you may get him to take you up on the invitation.
Dereck,
Best possible wishes to you and your wife, and I hope your expatriate experience is all that you want it to be.
Let us know if you have any building questions as you remodel.

Damn, this is real... What a Shocker!
But what else would one expect from a MSEE, PE?
Ditto on J.P.M.
... and if you ever feel like taking a swim across the Pacific, stop by here.
I'd love to buy you a beer in appreciation for all that I have learned from your posts & stickies.Leave a comment:
