I pay Verizon wireless $110 a month for high speed wireless which gets throttled at 22G and have for a decade or I have to use dial up modem. My wife works from home a lot so it’s something that I have to have. We are at the proverbial end of the line in the mountains with 7-8 families on our mountain road. Our state has had multiple state rural high speed internet projects since 2005. We should be the example for these boondoggle programs.
AT&T and Spectrum both have high speed internet that runs to the end of our little five miles of road but none will run lines to connect anyone on that road. Even with the numerous state programs.
Apparently I am on a list and I had the latest program director for this area contact me. We are suddenly supposed to get Starlink. I said okay how much? $100 a month for 100mps and they put in the equipment so I said sure put it in. That was two months ago and the last I heard all the Starlink equipment was sitting at the county road department headquarters for some reason. Still no Starlink, not holding my breath. So I’ll just continue to pay Verizon as I always have, I’m used to it. Maybe 5G will eventually come to the area.
“Maybe 5G will eventually come to the area.”
Do you have 4G there? Verizon has a 4G service of 25 to 50 mbps for 50 bucks a month.
