Is that your only option down thataway? Wireless broadband has pretty well proliferated around here lately.

Other than an cell card it is my only option. Could try Hughs but I'm guessing it's the same thing.
DSL is about a mile or two away, but they won't come down this far with it.. You would think being only 5miles out of town somebody would offer something.

Our elevator has Hughes Net and they HAAAAATTTTTEEEEEE it. Shortly after they renewed their contract, someone threw up a wireless antenna on the water tower in town...so they're stuck till then.

Desktop via router with cable internet. I think the router chokes it down quite a bit.
