Nope, no dial-up. Uses dish, no phone lines.
Can’t use another service unless I move.
I live out “in the sticks” and DSL/Cable is not available where I live.
Thanks for replying, though.
Depending on how far out “in the sticks” you live, you might want to see if there is any mobile internet (3G/W-CDMA) coverage in your area. The bandwith is likely to be lower than your satellite, but it should offer lower latency.
