Hey Daniel,
Yes a lot of people were telling me about "hot spots". But as I found out I have great cell phone coverage and so my wireless internet is the same as that. I have had a few disconnections, when I called they were having technical difficulties.......lol

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

I like the wireless, and sometimes satellite is dependent on the weather and location. I don't have a laptop yet, that is next on the list......lol
Well if cable isn't available like it is here, I think if your mom gets good cell phone signals wireless would work better than satellite.
Love to you and Lar.

Your area is covered, you would just have to order it from the internet if they don't have a store. The only area that is not covered is the cream areas. The mobile broadband is not the same as their normal area coverage.

Re: Wireless Internet
BTW it doesn't matter to me, I have just noted that it is MUCH faster and seems to have better coverage. I use AT&T for my phone (iPhone).

Well thanks, but I am happy with what I have, and glad I am not paying broadband prices. I was told by everyone I talked to I am not within range for broadband, even though the town of Mineola is covered, I am outside of town by 3 miles.

Some of the locations where I have the most trouble with disconnections is where there is a very strong signal. In places where I have a moderate signal seems to work best (2 or 3 bars). I have had a good connection with 1 bar, and also had good connections with all bars. Then in a couple of places I couldn't even get online where I had all bars. Alot of it really depends on the tower your near rather than signal strength...IMO

Isn't that weird? Now that you mention it I do get connected quicker with just the one bar. But if pages load slow I know I am going to be disconnected.....lol
It is still so much better than dial-up.

Re: Wireless Internet
By the way Cindy, I like your new avatar. My wife is a huge white tiger fan, our place looks like a white tiger museum with all the pictures and stuffed tigers. I even got her an actual sized (stuffed) tiger head to hang on the wall, now it looks like she went white tiger hunting and brought home a trophy.

Thanks, I love tigers and butterfly's. There is a tiger rescue reserve not too far from here. I have driven by but you are not able to see them from the road. They have been featured on Animal Planet. Oh boy, I would love to have a stuffed trophy...lol I have some other tiger photos, but I really like this one the best. The white tiger is so mysterious to me.

I picked this one up at a Love's truckstop, which the closest one to you is at Van. You might swing in to see if they have one next time your down that way. (I wouldn't make a special trip though, they are not at every Love's truckstop)
