As work in website development continued to grow, operations at San Juan Web were stunted by the very low upload speeds of local internet and Rick began to pursue higher speeds via T-1 lines, a very expensive proposition at the time. In 2000, Rick and Gerry started Orcas Online, Inc. to increase their bandwidth at the office, offsetting the high-cost T-1 lines by offering dial-up service to the local community. Soon afterward Orcas Online added DSL service to its portfolio. Stu Baker came on board, marking the beginning of our successful foray into the delivery of wireless internet. Nathan began working for Orcas Online as a teenager, Mindy Nunez became part of the effort in 2012, and Keith Light joined our team in 2016.
