Questions about rural access.

by hockeyfan4 Nov 8, 2005 8:29AM PST

I am moving into rural Ontario and know that in the past dial-up was your only option. I could use some suggestions, it would be a help. My current provider has told me that they don't have braodband there or wireless. I would switch, but I don't know what would be the best or whats possible. Thanks,.

In the outback--South of Dallas Tx

I live 30 miles so. of Dallas and can only get dial-up.
Cable tv doesn't come close, to many trees for wireless, and not close enough for DSL. Easier to go visit the local What a Burger and take my laptop
