My first thought to that "upgrade" was that facebook and twitter must be getting slow! I know on Maui they have supercomputers (or at least they did) and had at the time a fast network. I wonder how fast the network is in Hilo? What is the big islands network capacity? I assume that we have fiber connecting to maui or oahu.

The Big Island's Internet connection to the outside world goes through Spencer Beach Park in Kawaihae for the most part (Paniolo Cable Company has a fiber optic cable that lands north of Kawaihae). There is four fiber-optic cables that land at Spencer Beach Park.

1. Hawaiian Telcom
2. Wavecom Solutions (Hawaiian Telcom)/ TW Telecom
3. Southern Cross Cables (to US Mainland, New Zealand and Honolulu)
4. Honotua Cable (To Tahiti)
