Thanks, Paul. I saw a few of their ads and I am going to call them because what I have now is a joke, (HughesNet) yet was told it's the best anybody has to offer; at least in this area. FIOS would have to dig up the street, a lot more trouble.

See, we have no utility poles here! When this area was developed, since everybody has a pool, and nobody wants to get electrocuted while cleaning their pool. So all utilities are underground. Seemed a good idea, at the time? But, down in the seedier parts of town, hell they all have super fast Internet because they can easily hang another cable on the telephone poles. I'm going to call them, SOON!

Good hunting. El Bee

Earthwalker they will have to come out and install some new equipment and repoint your dish.
Now the router and modem are in one unit.

I'm on a rural pricing plan.
It's going to have to wait a while now.
Things are about to get busy for both of us.
