You are online to the internet with full, free access. You can do what you want. its free, so you can get emails, or browse the web. If you are looking for a full time always on connection, check with a local ISP for that. The Orcas Community Network is a service designed to allow visitors and residents to get access everywhere. You'll find its faster than AT&T 3g or other cellular broadband, but its not as fast as Orcas Online, Rock Island or Century Tel. For always on, reliable service, get a connection from a fixed Internet service provider that's already doing a good job.
