Vik Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Am I the only one getting fed up with all the thousands of Sullom workers loggin in to our already pedestrian broadband & grinding it to halt? Bloody Total & Petrosmack should install their own satalite service for their guys & gals & not rob our link to a standstill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector's House Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 And there was me thinking this was some new form of wearable tech. It got me wondering where the wifi aerial would go... Frances144 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody Total & Petrosmack should install their own satalite service for their guys & gals & not rob our link to a standstill. Which they have done. But it is much better than satellite, huge capacity fibre optics - goes to London. Absolutely no affect on the Shetland ADSL network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheltie53 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Fibre to London, would that perhaps have some element of wireless or has a cable been run to "Englandshire via ?? we are only an offshore platform after all so comunication should not be a problem "should it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Fibre optic cable from each of the barges to the Scottish Mainland? What white powder are you on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie53 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 The two barges in Lerwick, the one in Scalloway, the Sella Ness work camp and the new Brae hotel all have their own fast fibre connections to London and from there onto the internet. Absolutely no load on ADSL at all. If people are connecting out on the street where you say they may using SIC guest, just as you can, and that does not touch ADSL either. Maybe the white powder could be shared, that way we can all be so aware of the world around us ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie53 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Ah, see how easy that was to explain your original post clearly to us poor local people who cannot have your worldly understanding. Glad to hear that the cable is being used as intended and working well, no doubt more will be using it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
