Re: lets stop catering to hermits. Says the guy who obviously has not been to Bellsouth areas. Modestly rural areas having acess to DSL is a pipe dream across the US currently. That may be true in OK and for your telco, as well as other parts of the nation but it is not true over all. In most of Bellsouth's coverage area in KY there are no DSLAMs and not even all urban areas are covered. Also WiFi in modestly rural areas? Not likely unless you are confused and mean fixed wireless. WiFi in modestly rural areas I love that, it might serve 2 homes.
Satellite broadband is terrible, we do agree on that. If Direct TV wants in the broadband market again it better be thinking WiMax/Wireless because there are enough crappy high latency satellite providers out there already. |

| I have seen people who's neighbors on each side and across the street qualify for DSL but the caller can't. There won't be DSL at one address in the middle of a dense suburban area but you can go out to the middle of no where and get DSL. |

I know many people just down the road from where I live that would be considered rural. They definitely don't have access to cable or DSL. Wireless internet providers are about their only option other than dial up at this time. These people aren't that far out of the city. This area is a growing suburb of a mid size town. A lot of development etc. But there are areas on the fringe of this that don't have the access the original poster seems to think they should have access to.
