What I really want to avoid is paying money for the setup and finding out after a month or so that the service sucks and I'm locked into a 24 month plan that would cost a few hundred dollars to get out of.

I’m currantly using verizon wireless. It may not be as fast as DSL, but it sure beats the heck out of dialup.

This is a pretty good site for information. Type in your zipcode for your new location.

I didn’t see your question answered. I, like you, have no high speed satellite offered at my location. None, zip..nadda!

So... I use Hughes satellite. It’s not as fast as I would like and its costly (59.00) a month. I have used it for 6 or 7 years now ... never had one minutes trouble with the equipment.

Before satellite internet I had dial up. A second phone line that was 35.00 a month and an ISP provider that was around 20.00 a month. Thats 55.00 six or 7 years ago. The satellite.. 59.00 and 30 times faster than dial up. Easy choice for me.

If I remember correctly it cost 295.00 for the equipment and set up.

A heavy rain will cause you to lose the signal for the duration of the down pour.

Think me might go look at the WildBlue homepage and see whats up with that company.

Best of luck to you.

P.S. We need to have a long talk with that Obama guy. If he can heal the sick and raise the dead voters surely he can get me some of that high speed internet.
