Well, I wish I could wait long enough to get cable were Im at
but it will NEVER happen-too much distance and 100's of
millions of dollars to put land lines down.

The average distance between switches for most city communities
is about 2 miles but for us in the mountains it is better than 20
miles. The county barely takes care of our above ground phone or power lines and they will never invest in the addition of cable.

As to your point Beedubaya about Direcway, that is precisely why
I am not moving towards satellite internet-what a crock of crap.
Not only is the service subpar, it is overpriced. I was somewhat
excited at first about the option of satellite internet until I read the
fine print!!!!!!!!!!
