Since PPR is almost 3 miles off Highway 80 I can turn on or off the cell repeater and either provide cell service on the property or not.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06828727163244604661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508754319269484186.post-43039176620986407582012-12-02T07:35:59.570-07:002012-12-02T07:35:59.570-07:00The expansion of PPR is very nice!

I have the Verizon extender and DSL at my place and forget about the rest of the valley being in the black hole!DiAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032448327801752118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508754319269484186.post-54332729510960329962012-11-25T13:13:02.545-07:002012-11-25T13:13:02.545-07:00A fairly new concept but those of us living and wo...A fairly new concept but those of us living and working in the San Simon Valley are in a natural "black hole" since cell service does not reach the valley and there are no wireless internet hotspots except for the library in Portal (11 miles from PPR by car). Without electronic connectivity (meaning I do not turn on the wireless routers in the buildings and cell phone repeater)guests must rely on their imaginations for entertainment which translates to playing outside. This is especially attractive for family reunions where activities are family focused.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06828727163244604661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508754319269484186.post-16554633309694021122012-11-25T09:43:46.724-07:002012-11-25T09:43:46.724-07:00Thanks for explaining the "Black Hole Resort&...Thanks for explaining the "Black Hole Resort" concept. I am back in the 1950s I think, almost totally out of the technology loop. Maybe the ONLY person without an ATM card!

I have to turn equipment on to get wireless internet and cell phone service, so for a black hole experience I leave the equipment off.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06828727163244604661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508754319269484186.post-11682738964054856752012-11-24T18:45:12.618-07:002012-11-24T18:45:12.618-07:00Nice entryway.
