After a week - I'm hooked on Maui Sky Fiber...

After a week of being a customer of Maui Sky Fiber, I have nothing but nice things to say about both their service and the enabling technology they are using from
IPWireless.

While there were a few times their service was best described as flaky, having high-speed access during my stay in Maui has helped make me feel "at home" especially since I had just expected to have high-speed access in my hotel room and the lack of high-speed access was one of the only disappointments I had when we checked into the hotel.

With the sustainable speeds of 512 down/128 up (and I was told I could get as much as a 3MB down), everyone in my family ended up using the portable computer as if they were at home.

I realize that this may sound as if we weren't on vacation, but having broadband access is quickly becoming a lifestyle choice and I'd like to believe that when living in an "always on" world, being able to stay connected is a good thing, even if it makes it a little difficult to get away from it all...

Comments

I totally AGREE with your comments about staying connected while on vacation. Not unlike the "luxury" of being able to work out on a treadmill while on vacation, a thought which is inconceivable to some, I see connectivity as an amenity that everyone from Hotels to Taxi Cab drivers will one day capitalize on. Here's hoping it is sooner rather than later.
