WiFi Offshore (North Sea)

[rossybee]

Could come in handy for those who frequent various North Sea platforms (i.e. me ), was gonna create a list of installations with this facility, as apparently more & more are getting this facility. So I'll start:

Bruce
Lomond
North Everest

Appreciate your input chaps

[rossybee]

Thanks for everyone's input here - need to do a little tidy-up but will do when I get more time (currently awaiting permits on the [non-wifi] Magnus)

Just a wee bump in case any more can be added to the list, thanks!

[rossybee]

Most platforms don't allow porn - allegedly

But the speeds can be laughable - hell, even the wired net speed can be irritatingly slow - my last trip was on the Goldeneye (admittedly tiny and regularly unmanned) and 10 mins to open an email became such a drag that you just didn't bother...

[rossybee]

Just a wee bounce to the top for any who might be able to add to the list

[rossybee]

Seeing as I seem to spend half my life up here (Sullom Voe) I best add it, albeit in the Engineering Services Building (ESB)...

Anyone know if the Beryls have WiFi?

Bravo doesn't so I assume Alpha won't either.

It doesn't

[rossybee]

Now been on both Beryls and Forties Alpha in the last 4 months - Apache north sea installations don't have any wifi...

Added Safe Scandinavia

I'll admit to being slightly amazed on hearing Forties C has wifi as it was my understanding all Apache sites had no intentions of having it.

Good news tho as Apache is one of my employer's clients...

[rossybee]

Anyone know if the Judy has WiFi?
