| if you live in a place without dsl, cable, or fftn/fttp MOVE if you live in a place with dialup or satellite as your only options, you have got to move it, move it. you really are missing out.
the days of dialup are nostalgic.. but then again, you weren't moving 100+gb of websites, software, movies, and music and streaming content per month, per subscriber-- maybe 100mb per month. |

| yeah... moving isnt an option to some people, besides who wants to buy a house that doesn't have broadband access? no one.
and compared to the city.. RURAL KICKS ASS.
i wouldnt move to the city if my life depended on it. when i get older and leave my parents house ill move to a rural area that has dsl(2200ft down the street _), but never the city. heck, id rather spend all my money (part time job after school) on a t1 line to my house at 500$ a month instead of living in a city.
you really dont know how LUCKY you are to even have 1mbps.
*3.8 miles from the dslam(which should be operational within the next month or 2) but im still going to order dsl no matter what speed it may be.. even if it doesnt connect.* |

Hingham, MA | If rural kicks ass so much, I suppose its worth it not to have DSL 
Honestly, I could never live in a rural area, I hate driving and like everything to be nearby... but to each his own. |

Yea ... the people at the entrance to my father neighborhood 14 mile from Durham NC were smart. When Verizon needed to upgrade their phone switch they had to ask these peeps permission to do so cause the switch was on their land. They made a caveat that Verizon had to add a DSL Node on the phone switch and offer it to everyone around .... 14 miles from town, and you either have sat tv or a house antenna to get ok tv reception. Verizon got quite a few peeps from that deal and the people int he area are happy to at least have something better than DSL. |
