Years ago one of the folks had a USB dongle for either Verizon or AT&T for a work computer. It would barely connect here, and when it did, it was pitifully slow. Now, of course, the speed may have improved somewhat, but the tower is still on the other side of the hill, so the connection would be just as bad.
Hughesnet can be confident in the fact that I'm not going anywhere, though I will admit that years ago I tried to get Verizon to install the necessary DSL equipment nearby so we could get DSL in the immediate area. I got forty some odd signatures, all from houses right in a row. Everyone signed. This was back in 2007 or 2008. They decided not to do it, then stopped installing DSL altogether to concentrate on FIOS. DSL
was a possibility here, but you know where will freeze over before they will ever install fiber optic lines down my road. And cable? About the same chance....ZILCH.
