Internet access in Ghana is really expensive but i know there are other means of getting reliable and uninterrupted connection all day. I am currently using a similar system which i share with some of the active members of @steemit-uenr. I heard of Google fiber recently and its something i believe can get us what we need. With download speed up to 1GB/s , i think 100 people can use it at a time and have no problem. Just the current steem/sbd prices, things are a little bit out of schedule as we planned earlier on but we will make it work somehow.
And hey, you are totally right, @thejohalfiles need to be recognised by the entire community for what he has done for us. Not just he alone. You, @surfyogi ,@bleepcoin ,@hr1 ,@tytran and all who have been there should be recognised as well.
