No, no kidding. 56K dialup modem, currently running at 49.2 Kbps. No high-speed out here in the country. Satellite, IMHO, is way too expensive for what you get.

I depend heavily on Ad Block Plus to filter a lot of the garbage like Taboola, etc. For particularly graphic intense web site that take forever to load, I use ADB custom filter feature and add my own filters.

Also use Ghostery to trap trackers.

As I recall it, there have been fees added to our telephone landline service (ATT) several times so that Obama could provide low-cost high-speed Internet to all Americans. (A car in every pot. A chicken in every garage.)

And so far, all that's happened is lots of people who don't need it get a free cellphone to abuse or give to their kids.

This socialism isn't very fair so far.
