I'm going to go out on a limb here about cell service. First, Verizon is a black hole in Jacksonville. Don't even try. Frustrates our people from Springfield 30 miles away with Verizon that they get no decent data connection here.
AT&T has 3/4g in Jacksonville and it usually works great at the track, although the tower for 3/4g is on the other end of town (not sure what the cell tower in our pit area does, but it's for sure not AT&T high speed data or Verizon).
But last night all of us with AT&T were noticing problems with internet data. Kind of like what happens when I'm at a major sporting event sometimes. Then it dawned on me that Ross Wece and XSAN were streaming the video feed through AT&T from the track. I'm not a cellular expert, but my guess is that somehow they had the bandwidth in our area eaten up.
Not sure about that, but it just seems that there was a bandwidth issue going on with AT&T. Would love to hear other opinions on that so we might know in the future. Glad XSAN was here and Ross is our buddy... but could that have been the cause?
It won't be a problem in the future because we are getting broadband wired to the track soon.
