| Rural Access in Bertram Educate a rookie...please
I'm moving to Bertram this summer. There is no DSL or Cable where I am moving too. Is my only choice satellite?
If no, please advise
If yes, why is that technology so expensive? Must be a supply/demand issue. |

Temple, TX | Only chance would be wireless or ISDN.
Clearwire uses the cell towers for the internet. (I don't know if this a Central Texas ie...Temple area thing or not.)
Or ISDN. VERY stable,but pricey. expect $70-90 / month for 128k/128k
BTW satellite is crap for gaming. If you want to game at all online, satellite it NOT the way to go. |

| I've been wondering about Cell towers...
I noticed that Verizon, Sprint, Cingular everyone seems to be offering internet access and I was wondering if it operated similar or was the same technology as a cell phone.
It's funny there is a monster tower in downtown Bertram. Yet when I go to Verizon, Sprint and the other service provider websites, none of them say they have service in Bertram. Do you know of a site that I could go to, to find out who owns/operates a specific tower. |
