Re: 1.3 Million People...

I can promise there will be one less satellite user by 2012.

Right now Sat. or Dial-up are the only 2 options, even though there are 80+ houses within a mile radius of me, even though I can throw a rock and hit a house that has cable, even tough less than a mile away there are DSL users.

It is not like I am in the Sahara Desert. Should I get a Laptop card? Perhaps, but what if they get DSL here 2 months after I am into a 2 yr contract?

That's what really stinks. No honest evaluation of when, if ever, DSL will be available. Thanks a lot At&T for shooting straight with your customers....

I live in a WISP area, but I can't get it because of the hill in my front yard >_>

For now I'm just going on dialup but I plan to remedy the hill problem sooner or later lol.

Just buy an antenna and place it on your roof - should fix that problem depending on how big the hill is. If the hill is too big you could always rent a bulldozer.
