Road Runner Internet Service for Pahoa

[Hotzcatz]

We keep the landline service as well as personal radios (ham radio) for just such emergency use. Dependence on cable and cell during any sort of widespread emergency doesn't work well. When the power goes out cellphones generally do, too. The landline phone was working during the last big earthquake while all the cell phones were gone. The ham radio always works although that will usually let you talk to someone far away and the repeaters which would let you chat with folks closer aren't reliable during huge disasters.

As for roadrunner service, it isn't just Puna which experiences rolling blackouts, it's up the coast as well. More than likely it is island wide.
