Voice over Internet Protocol is in its 2 nd day after proper wiring to the house and in house. As well , as mentioned the telephone cord was shortened to conform to normal rules of conductivity for your basic braided copper.
I will assume w/ a higher quality copper core , that the telephone cord could be longer (b/c resistance is less in better quality wire )
Reports from callers say that the hollowness is marginal.
The tech guy said that w/ the longer telephone cord that he noticed some blips in the signal ( not good , I guess )
And based on speed tests , we ping very well at 9 ( sub 30 is good )
and Download speed is 7.7 Mbs and upload is 0.7
We are using 7 / 1 , thus , not bad
The big tests will come when we are away and accessing remotely
The system worked from S NY state
We shall see said the Zen Master
Rain came in buckets over night and early morning up to 9 A
We've been sunny since
Wind is up though
Temperatures will fall over the next few days
The long range for E Canada is cooler than normal temperatures
Apparently ,some weather patterns are establishing a cycle of cooling
I'm not making this up , comments at Brett Anderson - long Range all seem to indicate the pattern
And , it appears that the latest change to AVAST Anti Virus or something has over whelmed the baby laptop. I've been nursing BLT along but trying to use gmail is a pain
Windows 7 Home needs 2 Gb and thats all BLT has - its running on the ragged edge.
Gmail was always very slow w/ the BLT.
Up til to - day , gmail was non functional but I excluded gmail from the Web Shield and got a response but it was poor at best.
The move may be to Apple ( for $1100 )
but the new machine would be more powerful than the main laptop at home and thus could eventually replace it.
Meanwhile , we would have a super typewriter / emailer on the road.
