Check with your cable TV provider. Cable actually is faster than DSL in some locales. Brother-in-law has satellite Internet because there are no other options available in his area. It works OK, but is pricey.
I would like to steer away from cable companies. I have weened the family from DISH and we have been using internet TV and Netflix.
I am looking at saving well over $120 a month from this garbage. With my savings I am going to buy a better PC.
