The short summary is this: FIOS, DSL and cable are not now and never will be available here. The providers have flatly stated that.

A wireless company is exploring the area, but I don't expect that for a couple of years minimum, and then only with a tower tall enough to "see" over the trees. Ergo, the Hughes dish in the front yard will be my only option for the remainder of my days.

I fully understand the rationale of the providers. The population density here is not nearly high enough to justify the expense of providing wired broadband service. It's a simple economic fact of life.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17680264 Sat, 20 Jan 2007 21:24:31 EDT
