EGC, Can you help here...

Ok, FRiend, inquiring minds, like me for instance, want to know. Spill it, what you know, would ya? My partner and I live in the boonies of northern MN. No cable available. I checked out satellite hook-ups too. Apparently not fast, either according to my work-site's techie guy, who I remotely connect to. We do have Dish TV, satellite, but doesn't seem to help much. DSL, Cable, Satellite................Am I living back eons ago, just because we live in the woods to get a FAST internet hookup? Seems so. Zip code 557..

Um.

Well, my cousin lives out in the country and he's been having problems with Internet connection speeds.

This is one of those reasons why I as an Internet guru prfer to live in the city because the Connection speeds are faster than they are in the country.

What you might want to do is get n tounch with your local telephone company and see if they can't maybe get you better phone lines or a more directconnection. I noticed out in the country they have these little white boxes that link up some phone lines. I forget what they're called.

But, obviously one of the pitfalls of living out in the country is that sometimes the connection speeds are slowrr than they are in the city. That's just the way things are.:-)
