A large number of Beaver Islanders invested substantial time in organizing the Great Lakes Islands Summit and hosting a first-ever meeting of the Great Lakes islands. The island is getting plenty of great press as a result of the Island Summit. Here's the latest that appeared in the Manitoulin Expos...

We have an AT&T Microcell (also known as a femtocell) at Greenes Bay. It is slick when it works. But, sometimes it doesn't work at all, and frequently, you can hear the caller but they can't hear you. We usually wind up calling back on a landline. We had the same issue trying to use my office Vo...

Good service requires latency well below 100 ms with a low percentage of packet loss, and their are ...

Unfortunately, we've experienced the same down on Greene's Bay. The service was essentially unusable from 6 to 8:30 and from 9 to 9:30 this morning, down again from noon to almost 3:00 p.m., and very bad from 4:30 to 6:30. It has been choppy since then. I run a program that monitors latency at 15 se...
