Thanks Prax, I talked to my cell phone company and they said it is available for desktops too. And it is way cheaper than satellite and with less problems. I have no problems with my cell phone reception at home so she said it will work just as well as my cellphone.

WB seems to be most popular as far as internet goes.
It still amazes me that we have so many areas, rural or not, that there is not a better solution from the big guys

Re: Wireless Internet
Cindy....what do you have available out there? Do you have Verizon yet?
It should not cost anything except the monthly bill. Right now where we are located, Verizon Fios is the best price. Also, amazing service... not like the old days at the farm. You are closer in so you should have options.
I am sitting here on a wireless laptop which would get a signal whether I had paid internet or not. In fact, taking it to Louisiana to use it catching a signal here and there. Of course, my mother is 5 miles out so ????...maybe no signal???? Her neighbor within a mile has Wildblue.
Love ya Sis

Joie, I just got my wireless internet through my cell phone co. which is Alltel.
No satellite and is so much less expensive than paying ATT&T and AOL every month for dial-up. My SIL works for Verizon and he says they will be buying out Alltel next year, so I am good either way. A 2 year contract and is just added to my bill. I really like it so far. Direct TV did try to set me up with Wildblue, but Mike wouldn't go for the prices they offered and some of the problems that might come up.
Love ya much, sending hugs to you and Lar.

Re: Wireless Internet
Cindy,
I've got my internet through Alltel as you do know. In most places it works quite well. When I first got my card I had some issues of getting disconnected alot, but with use that is seldom a problem anymore. Of course I'm in a different place all the time, so you may not have that issue at all since your staying put. (And not someplace different every day like myself)

Re: Wireless Internet
Sprints mobile broadband card has proven best for me. I have had Verizon, AT&T, and now sprint. Sprints is the fastest and seems to have the most coverage out of the bunch.

Sprint is not available in my area, Alltel has it locked down. Next year Verizon is suppose to take over.
I was surprised to learn that weather does not affect wireless connections as much as it does satellite.
