It's very hard to unbutton your 501s while wearing snow mittens.

I'm too far out of town to get cable. I have three options... dial-up, Roger's Rocket Stick which is cell based, or Bell Rural Wireless. We went with Bell. We have a 'dish' outside pointed towards the nearest broadcast tower. The towers have a 23km range and we're at 22kms. Our speed is the max that is available out here. Unless we want to pay for the cable company to string 5kms of fibre optic cable  Where I live, there is no land-line telephone. Even if there were, it wouldn't carry DSL. There are no line-of-sight commo towers, and only a bounced- off-the-mountain-face cell service (Verizon). UHF and microwave links are out. We therefore use Verizon for cell phones and HughesNet (satellite) for HS internet. The internet speed varies widely from cheetah fast to snail slow at any given time. I suppose it depends upon the load on our particular satellite.

Jill-of-all-Trades far from having everything figured out!  More info | Mar 14, 2011 18:49 | #4956 20droger wrote in post #12020271 Where I live, there is no land-line telephone.

Our main issue with the internet is that we had to mount the dish only 8 feet off the ground as it has to 'look out' below the trees. When a train goes by the net slows down to a stall. Melody
