Looks like it's gonna be so long for a while

Dear FRiends:

The Internet has been my favorite hobby since I first got connected back in 1997. Then in 2004 I upgraded to DSL, and it's just been wonderful to have the world at my fingertips.

Most of you didn't know this, but we are moving. We received our notice back in March and have finally found and bought a house and are in the process of getting all our stuff over there (not easy to do since there are so few of us). Right now the target it to get enough moved to actually be living over there after the coming weekend.

Unfortunately while informing our phone company of the move I just found out this morning that there is no DSL service at the new house. And while dial-up was sufficient once upon a time, the Net is now so graphics heavy that it will no longer do.

Looks like I'm going to be off the Internet as of some time during the coming weekend. I don't know when I'll be back online again. Everybody over there is on the Net, so it's not like it's impossible, but after buying a house and all the expense of moving money is going to be extremely tight.

Until such time as I'm online again I will miss my fellow FReepers terribly . . . not to mention having classic TV shows at my fingertips via Hulu and YouTube.

To reiterate, I'm not gone yet. But I'll be gone during the weekend.

I just hope I don't die from the withdrawal symptoms!

Ping to my best bud. I’ll miss you.

[Responsibility2nd]

You’re going? But you’re not gone yet?

Dude. How can we miss you when you won’t go away?

[Puppage]

Godspeed

Get an air card, not necessarily as fast as DSL, but much better that dial up.

Hughes net or Wildblue,Verizon maybe..I have a Broadband antenna. Good Luck

[muir_redwoods]

I got something called a MyFI from Verison. If you have cell phone service you can connect at way better than dial up speed and as many a five devices can be online at any time. Even better, you can take it with you and have access wherever there us adequate cell phone service

[Gargantua]

You might want to consider procuring for your PC or Laptop a plug-in .usb unit with satellite uplink capabilities, much like a cell phone uses. They are less and less expensive with each passing week.

[Natural Law]

There are numerous alternatives to DSL. I would recommend that if cable is available in your new area you investigate one of their bundles which include TV, phone and internet access. There are also some satellite options. As a last resort a 4G enabled PC works pretty well. Some of them can also function as a portal for other 802.11 and bluetooth devices.

May YHvH cover you and yours on your journey.

Don't forget to put up the Mezuzahs first.

Check into Satellite. Works well. Monthly costs are in line with cable cost - once you get by the initial outlay.

[WayneS]

I assume you’ve already looked in to having internet service provided by a cable tv company or via satellite?

[null and void]

Satellite Internet Access

[Retired Greyhound]

Use your Blackberry.

[chris_bdba]

Look into satellite I forget which one has the best internet but my sister has it and it isn’t too expensive either.

[ßuddaßudd]

what about broadband cable hook-up?

[ArrogantBustard]

I feel your pain. I live in the sticks.

DSL, FiOS are not available to me. I don't want cable ...

So ...

I use my "Android" phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Something to consider. Talk to your local cellphone provider(s).
