Yeah. The phone companies are behind in getting high speed out to everyone out in the country. The problem is you have to live so close to a switching station in order for the DSL to work. I have heard that they are trying to update to optical fibers for the whole network. I don't know how far out it will be before they can accomplish it though. Around here the cable company's internet service is too expensive to be competetive with the phone company. The last time I checked, they wanted something like $50 per month. I have DSL for half that. I have heard that some of the bigger cities are offering wi-fi for all the city residents. I have no idea how they are pulling that off.
