| We need VPN. Satellite such long latency that VPN over satellite works at dialup speeds.
Satellites doesn't work for us.
Back to my original point, some places have a multitude of broadband, some have no sources of broadband.
Multiple sources of broadband in an area dilutes the effective population density.
I'm just irritated that we can't seem to get broadband in this area. A local non-profit Wireless Internet Service Provider keeps taking grants to provide wireless broadband, but they only bring it to places bring it to places that already have cable Internet, DSL, and 3G.

| That wasn't helpful. About as unhelpful as the rest of the posts.
Looks like BBR has gone downhill lately.

Not helpful and not what you want to hear are two different things. You weren't asking for a solution. Are you interested in how to solve the lack of broadband in your area? I'd be happy to link you to the WISP forum on here who could give you all the help you need starting a WISP and servicing your area. |
