SoFast Problems?

Thursday, November 12, 2009

Hearing some grumbling about folks in Great Falls having trouble with SoFast, a local internet service provider. The SoFast.net website is down, and phone calls to them result in only busy signals. Any of you (a) having trouble with SoFast service, and/or (b) know what’s going on? UPDATE: Some of you may know Mark Mathson of Keenpath, a friend of mine and local technology consultant; he’s offered to help businesses get back online with e-mail and web service. Tell...

ISP Advice

Tuesday, April 14, 2009

Got an e-mail from a regular reader and hope you guys can offer some advice: Hey Dave!! Glad to hear you decided against “Silicon Valley”!! haha. Hey, I am wondering if you know of any good reliable, inexpensive, local ISP’s?

I’ve read about Bridgemaxx, but they sound like they will be...

BridgeMaxx Update

Wednesday, February 18, 2009

Well, at least I tried it. Plugged in the magical box, watched the lights dance around for a few minutes, and then waited for the Signal Strength bar to kick in. Waited. Waited. But nothing. Moved to a different outlet, closer to a window. Still nothing. So I guess BridgeMaxx isn’t quite ready for prime time – at least in my neighborhood. The “location, location, location” premise seems to be true; if you live near one of their towers,...

Internet via BridgeMaxx

Wednesday, February 4, 2009

I wandered by the BridgeMaxx table at the mall last week and took a look. I’d seen the van around town, and knew that they had moved in to the old Verizon location near Target, but wasn’t sure exactly what it was. Now I know: it’s high-speed internet service, but with a neat twist. It’s a box – about the size of a hardback book – that plugs into your computer on one side, and into an electrical outlet...

Great Falls Biz Bloggers

Monday, June 9, 2008

Don’t forget that some of our cool local bloggers are also in business; some use their blog as their business site, in fact. Check ‘em out! Read The Whole Thing >>> Beatrix, of the Roots & Leaves blog, just launched her Root & Leaf business website. If you’re in the market for herbs and spices – or a therapeutic massage – give her a call. Josh Hutchins, besides being a great blogger (and AF veteran, and rock-n-roller), is also...

Linkage

Did you know that there is a model R/C club here in Great Falls? These are the folks who fly the little “model” airplanes via radio (or remote) control – pretty cool. Lots of pictures here. The Great Falls Chiropractic Clinic has a website. You can learn more about Drs Stoebe and Matury here. And speaking of chiro, the new Crane Chiropractic (off exit 0 near the Marketplace) is offering a complete initial consult and exam for only $20...
