The family dynamics are good, everyone is cooperating, the kids I can
manage.
ADSL and Cable are not options in this rural area. It's either the
satellite connection or Verizon dial-up. We suffered with dial-up for
several years, we had two lines actually, canceled those and changed to
this Wildblue account which works well normally.
I need to find what is driving the usage numbers, they were dropping
until about a week ago. The solution may be to put the boys back on a
dial-up or their mother may just leave them without internet? But that
doesn't define/identify the problem.
