I too live in the sticks. We're lucky if we can get 24K dial up
here, and the connection drops periodically.
We have tried satellite and sometimes it works well, other times it
works not at all. It is also expensive.
We will never have cable as the house is 1/2 mile from the road,
which doesn't have cable anyway.
DSL is out as we're too far away.
I even looked at getting a T1. $1000 per month!
So we're back to dial-up.
I do have broadband at work though. I just upgraded ProTools and
all my plug-ins. All the plug-in manuals were pdfs. Many had to be
downloaded. When I printed it all out I ended up with a stack of
papers 12" high. This is getting ridiculous. Am I supposed to go
on line and find a pdf and open it in the middle of a session with a
client looking over my shoulder?
I'm looking forward to getting the CDRom, but I'll download at work
if I have to.
BTW, my brother who lives in a small town in Oregon pays $29.95 a
month for fiber!!! Bnadwidth is over 20M.
Life ain't fair!
