Setting up an Internet terminal on an old chimney of a house surrounded by forests. It's chilly up here, but people in that house will have Netflix by the warm fireplace.

Rural broadband is essential infrastructure—but how should we fund it for the long haul?
Should broadband funding be locked into permanent law, or should Congress revisit it with each new farm bill?
What approach makes the most sense for rural communities? 💬

If I go offline for a while, this is why. The HMRC have brought a winding up order against my broadband provider!

An old ThinkPad in its natural environment, basking in the sun during a rural broadband installation.

Those Internet terminals are old, but they're still OK, it's just that I had no other flat surface to put them on for a moment.
-
A company that provides most infrastructure services for our small last mile #RuralBroadband operation is shutting down. The frequencies were taken over by bigger players. We will survive, but it's sad to see hundreds of working terminals that connect at 30-60 Mbps up to 15 kilometres going to a dump. Those speeds might seem low, but they let people play and work for years. Now most of them have access to fiber, so they'll be fine – except for those in remote locations. We have new solutions for them too. But it's sad to see good equipment thrown out.

Thinkpad (almost) on a roof. I should have had it play some fiddle music. During this rural Internet installation it got bumped and the clit fell off, but I was able to find it, with the help of my technician.
-
I'm not completely satisfied with this setup, but there was snow on the roof and I wasn't going to risk my life for someone's Netflix. The old system broke down on Saturday, I was there on Sunday, without my technician. And the children there have school holidays, so thanks to my hard work they won't have to spend time trying to find out where their public library is. We'll move that terminal to a proper place when everything thaws a bit.

Important events, like running a fibre connection to the middle of nowhere, are here, in Eastern Poland, usually blessed by a priest sprinkling holy water. I don't think any priest will come here, but Vuko blessed our future source of cat pictures and porn in his own way.
Anyway, this looks awfully a lot like socialism. A one kilometre stretch of fibre for just two houses? Makes no sense commercially. Europe is crazy.
-
Driving on rural roads to set up Internet connections can lead to communication equipment failure. Nothing would beat the broadband capacity of this station wagon if it was full of magnetic tape, but pings really suck now.

Never in my life did I expect to pick grapes from a pine tree, but life is strange. The vines growing on the walls of our neighbour's old wooden house decided to expand and colonize a large pine growing nearby. One of the perks of being a rural broadband provider is having ladders. Lots of ladders (well, one, but with three detachable segments). We made some 7 litres of grape juice from what we gathered, this is less than a fifth of what is still growing. We need small bottles. Lots of small bottles.

Was invited to a friend's wedding today. It turned out they have no Internet. I did have a spare terminal in the car, and some zip ties, but that was not my service car, so no ladder or anything so I had to work with whatever was available. A small village, the old small wooden house completely surrounded by trees, basically a radio desert. It doesn't look great, but they now have basic connectivity and tomorrow they'll be able to send videos from the wedding to friends when the terminal goes up on a mast.

During the installation we were attacked. We almost died.

Off to a rural broadband installation on a Saturday morning.

A robot trying to fuck up a rural broadband installation. Fortunately the stop button worked, though this might not work in the future as the Supreme Court moves to repeal the Three Laws of Robotics and replace them with one – "A robot must never cause harm to the stockholders of its manufacturer's company"

Late afternoon I got a call from a customer about a connectivity issue. Looked like a simple router thing, because they didn't properly describe the symptoms, Piece of cake – just three kilometres of very muddy road away. The router wasn't the issue. The ODU was. It was raining and there was no way I'd go up a 10 metre ladder to replace it. Went back for another ODU. Set it up at 1.5 metres. Good signal, speeds almost as high as at 10 metres – enough for the moment. Drove back home. I didn't have anything in the back of the car, but I checked anyway. Turned out I *did* have something unexpected there. Another 6 kilometres through mud that was getting worse with every raindrop. But I drove Sissy back home. Always close your car doors and windows when going to fix a rural broadband connection.

Here I am standing on top of the chimney at the small mast that holds a TV antenna and an Internet terminal. This is not a very clean job, even though this is not the house's smoke chimney. I might want to name this ThinkPad Fiddler.

Nice thing about rural broadband installations is that you get to climb houses and see everything around. Polesia is flat, so looking at it from 10 metres up is rare. My teen me would have loved it. Now that I'm old climbing buildings is not fun. But this was an emergency – a farmer lost his connection because of a malfunctioning BTS and I had to switch to a different technology, which meant I had to replace the ODU. And my technicians were unavailable.

Is the analysis more accurate in 4K? What if I have only a slow #RuralBroadband connection?

Today was hard. I had to wake up very early (for me), but I couldn't go to sleep. I was worried about all the things that could go wrong, and I didn't have reliable backup transmission equipment. The backup I had would be difficult to set up and would not go more that 10/10 Mbps in the forest where I was going. So the basic equipment *had* to work.

Apparently Starlink seeks to make profit off hurricane Helene victims by offering 'free' Internet. Not surprising.

Had our #RuralBroadband mast replaced. The terminal is now two metres higher than before. Download up from 7 to 40 Mbps. It was either this or cutting a lot of trees.
