Reply to "Cable Connection"

I've been checking, and cable is out. It seems the folks who own the poles rent them for $7 per year for the utility companies to hang stuff on.
3/4 miles at 200'/pole, 20 poles, $280/yr or $25/month. For one user, it isnt viable.

Satellite advertises "high speed", but only delivers 2x to 3x my typical dial-up speed at 50666bps.The cost is $80/mont to start, I think $120 after that.

DSL is my next pursuit. I'm too far from the swithces to get it, but, I know a few years ago someone ran fiber-optic across my driveway. I've called "Miss Utility" to find out who to blame for my off-kilter mailbox. Since I'll be diging in the area to straighten it out, they will locate it for free.
Connecting to it is a different story.
