how to get high speed internet?
daywane:
I live way out in the sticks.
no phoneline (high speed)
no cable TV available
I have direct TV for Chanel's on TV
Direct way wants way to much for high speed.
hook up went down, was $500.00 ::)
down to $100 ( I think) and $100.00 a month
If I got my channels for the TV I would run with that but no TV channels are included.
any thing I can do?

I think you're screwed... unless you want to pay out the --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules-- for D-WAY.

Try looking for a wireless connection. Some cities are starting to offer it. There are 2 people at my work that live in the sticks and one has it now and the other should have it in about a month or two. Check this site:
Listing of wireless by state.
Maybe you will get lucky. Good luck.

not sure if this counts as wireless. I have a cell phone with a usb hook up.
On week ends I use it. ( free weekends ;D)
but that is not that much faster.
28 kbs now
weekends 128 kbs.
you would think it would be a big difference but I really can not tell any speed difference.

sounds like me, that's dish for you. Nothing much you can do except move (which is what I am doing :) )
Maybe you can get a whole bunch of people together to create a wide area Wifi connection to one person with a T1 :)
