Rural Internet advice
Mods, I know this belongs in the media center but if you can bare with me I would appreciate it.

I've lurked here long enough to know to know Austin likes bag o dicks, Rain Man got raped on a freighter, sauto is actually Jason, anti-freeze is a good thing, aids and fire go together, bob dole needs a pm, and midnight vulture is entertaining.

That being said, the Youtube thread got me interested and I thought I would start looking again at getting decent internet at my house. I cut the cord 3 years ago and moved back to the country where we have been using only an air antenna for the most part. About two years ago I installed an app on my work cell that lets me run wifi but it bogs down in a freaking heartbeat. While I emjoy the free internet it has became a pain in the ass when I run more than one device for everday use.

So, my question is; does anyone have any experience with rural internet? The phone works great for 1 screen but I'm needing a little more. I know this has been discussed ad nauseam but I would like some fresh takes if anyone has them.

Im sure I've missed a lot of CPs insults so I will welcome them if you have some solid advice. Thanks in advance you worthless bunch of assholes.

And RIP ED, never logged in to say that (theses asshats scare me)

Thanks

You know how I know you're not ready for the Internet?

But to be a little helpful I guess, I ran a Tech Support department that had a lot of users call in on Satellite Internet. By the time I left in 2016, satellite Internet was at least serviceable. You should look into that.

Rural internet is pretty awful, you're looking at shit like Century link and Hughesnet which is extremely expensive for not much bandwidth and if you like to game forget it satelite net just won't get it done.

Yeah gaming on satellite sucks

Honestly it depends what you’re looking for. Satellite is gonna have data caps, and nose wireless will too

My parents live out in BFE and have Wireless ISP, where their signal is beamed from a tower to an antenna on one of the dormers of their house (not a cell phone). Their speed is 6Mbps. It is incredibly unreliable, and the antenna needs to be replaced at least once or twice a year because the housing leaks. Even when it works, it ****ing sucks.

Looked into Hughes and asked the neighbors, they said it sucked so I was hoping there was something I was missing (especially since I'm not ready for this new internet thingy)

I've got a little module thingy from Verizon that plugs into the usb on your computer that works great anywhere. It doesnt plug into an electical outlet, its stand alone ,about 3" long. But it's only good for the computer its plugged into. $20/month. I just got it to take with me to the lake when i go to texoma.

See if there is some rural co-op or small town OTA internet that you can find. May be your best bet.

Jet packs are good but limited in bandwidth.
