    Hello Rob!

    In recent years we at least now have the option of Cell
    Phone Data plans and Satellite service at very high
    prices.

    Starlink is now offering "no upfront equipment costs" for their
    mini kit to Canadians.


    My next door neighbours are only here for 3 or 4 weeks a year but they need decent Internet speeds for business purposes while here so they installed Starlink this past year and are paying about $1800 a year
    for service over those few weeks..

    I would never value internet at so highly as to pay that much.

    Yes, my neighbours mentioned that to me..

    It's all a matter of scale.. My neighbour is the highest ranking
    person in North America for McDonalds after years of being CFO and
    CEO for them in other countries all over the world. His income is
    in the $Millions so he probably hardly notices an $1800 expense..

    You'll like the 404 page on my websites:

    The Web page you seek
    Cannot be located, but
    Countless more exist.

    (https://outpostbbs.net/404.shtml)

    I love to write haiku for error pages.

    I cannot modify the 403 Forbidden error pagee but I used to have one:

    What you seek sleeps now
    Hidden from view currently
    Ask for permission

    XD
