The worst thing about where we now live is the lack of high speed Internet access. When we began building, the developer said it would soon be available, so we didn't give it much thought. It didn't happen by the time we finished building, and then the day came that we had to make the decision to get by with dial-up, or go with satellite Internet service.
Because we could still recall the agony of dial-up, we opted for Wildblue satellite service. It was recommended as being better than HughesNet, but I can't imagine anything being worse. It's now been three days since we've had a good connection and the speed has been no faster than dial-up. If this was the first time it has happened, I wouldn't complain, but it's an all too common occurrence.
Since we moved in, we have learned that cable will not run this far from town, as there aren't enough houses to justify the expense of running lines, and DSL has apparently also been put on hold for the time being. I'm guessing the crummy economy has something to do with that decision.
When it comes to getting honest to goodness high speed Internet, I get to feeling like a Chicago Cubs fan...wait until next year!
