New ISP

I have been using PeopleNET as my ISP for quite some time. The speed was not very high, and the only plan available was pay-per-gigabyte. But it was more than enough for email, jabber and most websites.

There were simply no other options. Ukrtelecom cited a lack of technical capacity and offered to pay a fee and wait for the capacity to appear (they could not give an estimate of how long this would take). Beeline said they couldn’t provide service to this address, although they had connected the house next door. And there have never been any LANs in our neighbourhood, and if there were, they were very far away and not for a long time.

The Telza ISP didn’t make any excuses or problems, they just pulled the cable through a block and a half. So now I have internet like this

And PeopleNET was left as a backup and travelling option. Their USB modem fits perfectly into the small pocket of a laptop bag.
