Akula Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Ok, so I am building a new house "in the country". I am in Hilliard not far from Brown Elementary school. So here is what I have tried and the results. Insight - Not available. WOW - Not available. Time Warner - only basic cable available no digital, HD or Road Runner. Speakeasy T1 available for $90/month at 384k up to 3M at something like $900/month. IDSL (which is a T1) available for the same price as T1. Direcway/Hughesnet available but again really expensive, does VPN work? Wild Blue - Not accepting new customers on my Beam. Verizon Wireless card - My wife has to tunnel into work and aparently you only get so much data per month. Dial-up - NOT BROADBAND but for some reason all of these companies keep telling me it is available in my area. DSL - too far away. Anyone have any other options? If so please provide the company name and I will give it a try. I don't know of any WISPs in the area so I cannot try them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 The only other option that I can think of would be to check Direct TV or Dish Network. You can get the satalite service and internet. I think it is DSL though, but not for sure. I know it isn't broadband, but it is going to be cheaper than some of your options.

Casper Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Verizon Wireless card - My wife has to tunnel into work and aparently you only get so much data per month. I thought it was unlimited data for $59.99/mo up to 3mbit down? I have two PCMCIA cards for sale by the way if you go this route and they work flawlessly with WinXP and OSX 10.4.1+. I bought them up because Verizon stopped supporting Macs. A friend of mine in Plain City uses her Verizon broadband card as her main internet connection. It works great, and you can travel with it!

Akula Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Nope, not unlimited data (or atleast that is what the internal sales rep told me). No mac support??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Oh BTW: If you want to try the Verizon option out and see if it'll work for you, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
