Well, there's no copper to the new house,,, so we tried wireless,,

But,,, there's no line-of-sight between the nearest tower and the house,,,

So,,, since I've been a customer of theirs for over 10 years, they are asking a third party to bring copper to the house, as it's less than 1/2 a mile away. If they agree, it will take a couple of weeks to bring it in.

I could go with satellite, but I play an online Pirate Game,,, so there's a bandwidth problem,,

If I get a plan I can afford, I will use all of my bandwidth for the month,,, in about 20 minutes,,, and to get enough to do what I want it to do, would cost me over $300 a month,,, sigh

AND there's a delay,,,

The delay is not a big deal when you're just surfing,,, but in gaming there's enough of a delay that I get shot twice before I even know I'm being shot,,, so I can't sink them back!!!

Who woulda thunk I'd have to check for Internet availability before moving into a house in the MIDDLE of down town?!?!?!

The boonies, yeah,, but IN town?? Geeez!!!
