This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.

3G Wireless Link

The new 3G wireless dongle seems to be working OK. I am sending this entry from the comfort of Pachuca anchored offshore.

Even though it is "3G" equipment this service puts restrictions of my data. I get throttled down to 128 Kbps if I exceed:

100 MB a day
1 GB a week
1.5 GB in 15 days
3 GB in 30 days

Of course this can all be lifted if I pay more pesos, but I am happy enough with access to email and modest web work from my boat - as long as I am within range of a Telcel tower.
