I dont use any other host apart from Bluehost. And sasahost. If you want reliability choose tgem. But there was an issue with cms WordPress to be precise. It used to be blocked by some isps like zuku but all in all its good

The main issue is the government's whole vision and strategy on how to
deliver broadband to the rurual resident. The answer is simple, you need
massive government goodwill and investment; both in regulation and capital
expenditure. Looking out to private companies and the residents themselves
doesnt work for the many reasons given here, and this is proven elsewhere.
For example, how did the government of France ensure widespread internet
use in the early 90's? they gave out a modem to each rural household to
hook up on the X.25 network that laid out countrywide. It is how a
government drives something like this that determines whether it succeeds
or not....

the thing is I have sat with some government and some policy related bodies
and can tell you there is good will, policies are being made, laws being
proposed for change etc.

Im not sure where the process breaks down oh wait there doesnt seem to be a
process for getting us from where we are to where we want to be, I know
there is a vision.

Something like nofbi's expansion - ongoing will cover all 47 counties,
extending that connectivity from where it lands to other local areas is a
challenge that we can probably start proposing solutions for. I am in the
wifi/lte camp if you want to do it on the cheap. and yes i believe lte will
be as cheap as wifi if not cheaper in the near future.

I also firmly believe that if the elections go well, at least 5 rural
connectivity projects will launch (the ones I know about). so yes politics
is a major issue ....
