I wish I could get FIOS where I live.
They just won’t come up in to the hills.
It’s either Commiecast or a giant pizza pan nailed to the side of your house. Wife says fuggedaboutit.
“They just won’t come up in to the hills.”
Firesign Theater reference?
I live in the middle of nowhere, a mile down a dirt road...and they are putting in fiber to my house!
Two miles further down the road is a single family home...they are burying fiber all the way to that home as well.
The economics of it makes no sense. Imagine what it must cost to run fiber miles down a dirt road to reach a single home.
It’s the tiny local phone company that’s doing it. I have DSL from them now and have been satisfied with the service.
I never, ever, expected to have fiber run out here! It’s like getting fiber net access on Tobacco Road..lol
A guy I know just closed on a new 4000 sq’ home in Phoenix.. and he can’t get fiber access there..and here I am at the end of the world and they are installing it. [scratches head]
Check for services like Mercury - a radio based internet.
I live 3 miles up a dirt road on the side of a mountain in Montana. I have microwave internet, line of site to a tower 10 + miles away down in the valley. There is another tower 15 miles away I can use as well, if my trees get too tall for the one I’m aimed at now.
No chance of a land line ever coming up to me and satellite is too damn slow and expensive. I get no data caps and 11 mbs, good enough for streaming video and audio. Check if anybody is doing that in your area. It is a good option.
