HELP!!! Does anyone have any experience with wireless internet service?? We just bought a house that is out in the boonies and there is NO broadband
or DSL internet service and I am not interested in doing dial-up. Any info anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated!

as far as i know you still need broadband to use a wireless connection

That's what I was wondering. If that is the case, then I guess its back to AOHell........

I believe there is a way to get Internet service through a satellite provider in some places. However, when the weather goes to shit, so does your
internet service.

I use Verizon broadband internet access - very happy with this. I can get on-line with my laptop pretty much anywhere you have cell phone reception,
but you would need to make sure you are in a coverage area. $60 a month. More details:

Thanks guys!! I was trying for satellite internet but the only provider in our area is not installing in our exact location. I'm checking out
Verizon and Cingular access today. You'd think in this day and age that you would be able to get whatever type of service you want but I guess that
is the sacrifice I have to make for wanting cows in my backyard!! Hell, we cant even get digital cable there!!! Its all analog!!!!!!!!!

Sprint also provides a wireless internet service. My brother uses it and he, as well, is out in BFE.

Well, it looks like I'm gonna go with Cingular since I already have 4 cell phones with them and that would give me the best deal. Thanks to all who
helped me out on this one. Now, off to check out laptops. Laptops people, not lapdances!!!!! LMAO!!!

You can get all types of service with the Lapdances too!!!
So I've been told...

Lapdances can cost you more than a laptop if you're not paying attention!!!!

Did the Cingular air card and just returned it today...it sucked!! Slower than dial-up! It was a location problem. Stopped at the Verizon store and
checked out what they had and with my employee discount, got the pc card for free and I'm getting the service (without having other phone with them)
for the same as if I had cell phone service with them. Now I'm zipping along the net like I was connected with Roadrunner. I also got an adapter so
this pc card is connected into my desktop pc and not a laptop.
