What are all of you using to get to FTE? Dialup? DSL? Cable?
What speeds?
I've been pondering buying property/house upstate, (lower half) and during the summer when the wife and I go to her brother's land, whenever she sees a nice place, she's always saying "if you buy me that house, I'll move here". So I might take her up on it someday ...
However, I need fast internet access for my business. I want a place away from the main-drag, but not so far away I can't get cable-speed access.
What options are you all seeing out there where you are?

We have DSL in Trumansburg. Most areas in the Southern Tier have that or cable hook up. Where are you looking? Check with local Realtors, and phone company, if they have a web site they probably have high speed access.

If your looking down by me the only thing I get is DSL.Pretty good speed,I meg I believe.frontier communications.No cable on my road.Have to have satellite dish for the TV.
Just for information and discussion purposes because I live to far 'upstate' for Art.... In my general area we have cable, some DSL, dial up and of course sat. At the house, I have dial up as the cable company is too cheap to run the wires in my immediate area. It is all around me but...

Art - it all depends. I have cable, but my parents that live less then 5 miles away from me only had dial-up until last year when they were finally able to get DSL. I looked into every option for them including satellite and there was nothing available for them until one vendor finally provided DSL in their area.

I'm paying $45/month for cable Internet, and that's with a TV package and phone. It would be even higher.
That's for 15 down, 2 up. I pay an extra $10/month (only $10 w/phone service, I think it's $15 or $20) for 30 down, 5 up. That's 30Mbps download, 5Mbps upload.
Verizon has run fiber right past my house, and I can get 20 down, 20 up, with a phone line with unlimited national calling (like cable) all for less than $70. They are adding TV soon, I'll probably jump.
Maybe I'll stay where I am
