| I know this might be off topic, but... ...I've never been able to get DSL in my life - ever! And I sure as hell wasn't living in rural areas! My neighborhood in North Las Vegas was too far out for DSL when it was initally being deployed by sprint. In Biloxi, MS (a town of about 80,000), my neighborhood's lines were on Digital Loop Carriers, and now here, at Ashland MO, I am once again too far out for DSL... I've had three phone companies: Sprint, Bellsouth, and now Centurytel (Century-hell!) - and not a damn one of them could provide our house with DSL. Except here, in MO, I'm considered "rural." So not only can I not get DSL, or Cable, but my phone lines are multiplexed. WISP? Forget about it, my neighbor's trees are too tall... Satellite? Doesn't work half of the time. When will rural people be able to enjoy the internet? (I guess when they cough up the $1000 a month price for a T-1, lol) |
