1 edit | They are right, not that many have a REAL broadband. By real I mean NOT WB/hughes ect. Wireless helps a LOT I have wireless, but it costs $55 a month for 512k-down and 128k-up, I understand that they are using T1 so it will cost more than DSL/cable, but if I had access to DSL I would get it, it(DSL access) stops LESS than 1 mile from my house. Dont get me wrong wireless rocks it can handle VOIP, but not every one can afford it, but I feel really sorry for those who ONLY have access to dial-up or sat. I know it costs to lay cables ect for DSL or cable, but I really wish they would give a crap about us, they WOULD make a probably profit, just not as big of one as they would like. | |

 |   Smith6612 Premium join:2008-02-01 united state | Ever considered about asking your DSL provider for your area to consider installing an AdrenaLine DSL booster on your line? That might be able to push DSL to you if said provider is willing to install one for you. | |

Could you explane in detail what that is, if it would work I KNOw that I could get ATLEAST 4 of my nighbors to go with me and help pay for it, all of us agree that we want DSL. ANd would it be able to handle VoIP? | |

AdrenaLine + 1 mile might get you DSL. | |

| Re: They are right, not that many have a REAL broadband. if you relly wanted to you could probably buy a t1 and share it among your neighbors (t1 costs around 550)if you and your frend split the costs among you it would be around 55 dollors per month
this would likely create some competation
as for getting dsl call embarq and tell them you have 10 ppl who want dsl in that area and see if they budge | |

|
 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  zed260
join:2007-09-30 Cleveland, TN | well t1 speeds are 1500 kbs so around 150 kbps per user but since no one ever users there whole conntection 24/7 you could probably get around the same speed as what you get now maybe a bit faster
and would diffently be less latency | |

| Which Farmers and What Counts There's a lot of *small* farmers out there - particularly as the local and organic foods movement has grown.
I know that, in the case of the farmer that runs our CSA, while he has "broadband", it's satellite broadband. It's not exactly a high-performance connection option. Though, given prior definitions of "high-speed", I guess it sort of qualifies. -- The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. -- Bertrand Russell | |

| Re: Which Farmers and What Counts said by Eat Me :I don't think it's the farmers who want broadband. You will find that the people in rural areas who want broadband essentially live in "bedroom communities" i.e. rural areas or semi-rural areas where the people work out of town. Of course I'm guilty of the above but I have broadband. It depends on the farmers. In areas like the DC metro area, many of the farmers are ones who've left their original careers to take up organic (boutique?) farming. While they're often looking to get away from the city, they often still want their broadband. -- The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. -- Bertrand Russell | |

| May not be as much a 'lack of demand' but a lack of availability OR refusal to pay what are really unreasonable rates.
I pay $65/month for a 1024/256 connection from a local WISP. My other "high-speed" (none qualify as broadband by the new definition) options are $71 768kbps down (upload unknown) DSL or some form of satellite based connection. | |

| Re: How much is Satellite? Or low speed Wireless? I pay $99 a month ($1200 equipment cosst) for Hughesnet's Small Business option. On a good day, I get 900kbps down and 200 kbps up. I'm exactly 6 miles from Kansas City limits and have no other option than satellite and no hope of anything terrestrial, likely in my lifetime. I believe density is such that it would support it. There is a wisp nearby, but I don't have line-of-sight. I'm 6 miles either East or West to an interstate, or major state highway and in a EVDO dead zone. -- DW6000, DirecWay Small Business, Galaxy 16 99W, trans 1210, 3PC network, WinXP/2000/98, LinkSys WRT54GS.

| Solution in Search of a Problem? And just how many "farmers" need anything beyond dialup speeds?
The cited example during campaign season was "checking crop reports" and "futures markets", all of which worked well on dialup and one-way pagers before. Why would they "need" "broadband" now?
Rural WISPs, satellite, and IDSL more than fill the "need". So they charge $50 a month and up. Who here pays less than $50 a month for their cell phone?
There is no justification for this kind of pork. | |
