Better than Dial-Up

When I was living in an apartment, DSL was available.  When I moved to my house, only dial up was available.  It was extremely difficult to go from fast to extremely slow.  I lived in my house for 3 years before DSL became available in my area.  I was so excited.  Then I discovered that I live 1,000 feet to far from a router.  I spoke with the phone people about getting DSL in my area and the answer was not in the near future.  I went door to door in my area and got 87 families to sign a list stating that they would use DSL if it was available int he area.  The phone company just ignore me now.  I tried to get Cable internet, but again, I lived too far,but only by 50 feet.  I could now choose between satelite & broadband.  I decided to go with Verizon for several reasons.  Satelite was twice as expensive, slower, and had a lower limit by half.  I have had Verizon Broadband for 3 months and am happy with it.  I still wish that I could have DSL (faster & cheaper), but broadband is acceptable.  It easy to use, but just not as fast as DSL.
