Not easily. In most places I have lived you have at most 2 options. DSL (if you are close enough) or cable. I guess anyone can do satellite but... shudders

Cable is like fiefdoms of old Europe and I'm they would like to keep it that way vs actually competing on the same lines
- stevenwoo 9y agoI live 15 miles from Google HQ and those are the choices, DSL/cable/satellite and I don't want to support the cable company so it's DSL for me.
- floren 9y agoIf you're in the Bay Area, sonic.net was always great for me. Despite being DSL, it was pretty fast, good uptime, good customer service. I wish I could get them here.
- stevenwoo 9y agoThanks, I should have mentioned I am using sonic.net. It is pretty good and I don't understand how but it's more reliable than AT&T (the second time I had to stay home from work and the AT&T technician didn't show up I had to switch to something else) when I assumed it was over the same copper wires to the nearest telco office and same telco office.
- freedomben 9y agoI'm pretty optimistic on the future of wireless technology. So far it has been pretty terrible, but amazing things are coming.
