Pat:
Don't give up hope of ever getting high speed. I
didn't think I would ever get it up here, but I did. I had been using dial up
for more than 9 years and was having the same problems you were, plus one more I
never heard you mention. Every spring during winter breakup I would
lose it due to there being so much noise on the phone lines. This was due
to the juntion boxes becoming flooded. I too loooked into satellite, but it
wasn't cheap because up here we have to pay for the equipment and installation,
though prices had come down over the years. Plus I know someone who has it, and
it is not as good as they make it out to be.
Then last month I found an ISP that started up
useing a wireless system. They currently have a main tower and 3 relay towers.
So I got in on that so now I have this small yagi antenna on my roof. It works
great. About twice as expensive as dialup, but worth every penny.
