Bill,
Where I live, broadband doesn't exist, at least, according to the telephone company, not for the next five years.
Satellite is $149 a month, and I'm not willing to pay that. Cable is $69 a month, which is still way too much money for internet access.
Mobile telephone is available, but in order to use it I have to install a $350 mobile signal amplifier and even then, the connection would be marginal.
A new cable company has recently made inroads in my area and with luck they'll provide connection at a reasonable rate. Until then, I'm stuck with dialup.
Thanks,
Gary
