Suggestions for high speed internet...[views:2555][posts:16]_____________________________________________ [Dec 14,2006 7:45pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] i'm beyond sick and tired of having dial up, so obviously i need high speed internet. here's the situation: i live in a town that is practically lightyears behind the entire universe. dsl was supposed to be available 5 years ago, but that hasn't happened yet. i live 1/8 mile set back in the woods with no cable. to run cable to the next cable box would cost about $1500 since it's across the street from my house. so i can't get anything that is run through cable. do any of you have satellite internet or any other alternatives that would be possible for me to look into? |

| _________________________________________ [Dec 14,2006 7:54pm - CaptainCleanoff ""] I use comcast, and that is all I have ever used for high speed. Never had a problem with the exceptions of a few hiccups. |
| _____________________________________________ [Dec 14,2006 7:55pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] does comcast connect through satellite? |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 14,2006 8:13pm - the_reverend ""] no, and satellite internet sucks. you download over satellite, but upload over phonelines. what about DSL? cell cards? |
| _____________________________________________ [Dec 14,2006 8:18pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] if you read my post, you'd see that dsl is unavailable in my town. can you tell me more about cell cards? |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 14,2006 8:51pm - xanonymousx ""] what cell phone service do you have? |
| _____________________________________________ [Dec 14,2006 8:53pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] i have t mobile |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 14,2006 9:10pm - xanonymousx ""] http://hotspot.t-mobile.com/ may help... i know sprint and verizon have cards. |
| _____________________________________________ [Dec 14,2006 9:13pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] thank ya guv'na. i'll be checking that out. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 14,2006 9:21pm - xanonymousx ""] no problem |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 14,2006 9:28pm - the_reverend ""] sprint's got a slick card. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 14,2006 9:34pm - xanonymousx ""] yeah, i think if we ever get rid of comcast thats what we will be getting. that's probably not gonna happen since everything is linked together. |
| _____________________________________________ [Dec 14,2006 9:38pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] i'm going to have to call t mobile to get the full deal on that hotspot hub-bub. my real solution to this problem is saving my money and getting the fuck out of the woods. |
