Re: Help... I'm in the No Internet Triangle!
Didn't read your whole post, but I've been trying to get an old colleague sane Internet access near the Newcastle area for over a year. He's on satellite. To make a long story short, it's not going to happen, so your best option is to move.

| 20 (wet) phonelines, dialup MLPPP bonding, 1mbit down 0.6mbit up, problem solved. 
You'd even get much lower latency than regular dialup since you'd be sending really small packets if you had packet splitting both up/down.
Alternatively, does he have 3G coverage? That $30 for 6GB on 3G with Rogers is a good deal, and speeds (1.5-3.3 down, 0.3 up, 130-160ms latency) are comparable to older DSL. |

| The $30 6GB plan may only be available with a data plan, or that and the iPhone. So that may not be ideal.
Of course, if he pays $100/mth for data only, supposedly that's their cap, so it'd be $100/mth for unlimited transfer of DSL-like speeds if there is 3G coverage. |

Not sure - I don't own an iPhone. |
