Ask YC: I'm looking for Rural High-Speed Internet Service
The phone company won't provide DSL, I'm eight miles from the central office. There's no cable available, and no cell signal (I'm in a valley). Any suggestion?
- oldgregg 18y agoEither satellite http://www.wildblue.com/ http://www.wildblue.com/ with awful latency or get creative http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2002/pulpit_20020207_000721.html http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2002/pulpit_20020207_0007... no good solution though-- other than moving.
- donna 18y agothanks, i'll check them out. 101 acres in CA Redwood forest.. we're off the grid, (solar, spring, propane) except for a 14.4 phone line that is buried under the horses corral. Gotta love it!
- DEinspanjer 18y agoHow far away from a cell signal are you? You might want to invest in a directional antenna mounted on a pole high enough to paint the cell tower. A good cell signal repeater using that antenna can pull three bars of signal strength down into your house/office.
- bprater 18y agoDirecTV can hook you up with satellite service.
- LPTS 18y agoIn the US? Move to a first world country.
- donna 18y ago;-D we're part of the third world in the first world!
- rms 18y ago~2.5k/month for a dedicated line? At least you'll have port 80 open!
