Help needed with dialup or DSL access
N/A | N/A | N/A

Posted on 04/19/2003 12:06:54 PM PDT by CDHart

We are in a very rural area. We have dialup service available from only two ISPs, both of which leave a great deal to be desired. Is there anything out there that would provide a dialup 800# with reliable connections? Or a DSL would be wonderful, but I haven't found any available here. Thanks for any help anyone can give.

There are some companies that provide high speed satellite access, though I am not sure exactly what that means, sort of sounds like it could work in the country, unless it's like cell phones.

Try http://www.bbwexchange.com/wisps/. They have a lot of info about various types of wireless broadband.

I suspect none are cheap.

What about cable? Is that available in your area?

We have Dish Network for TV but I called them a while back and they didn't have the cable access here yet. Guess I'll just have to be patient! :^)
