I also live in the Boonies and the only reason I have this ISP available is they are a small company that does Internet for basically the rual area for 4 counties and I have one of their towers which is a T3 tower 50 yards from my house. Part of my job is to make sure nobidy vandalizes the tower and also to keep it up and running for this quadrant of the service area.If that tower was not here I would be like you with Verison or Direct TV . I am super lucky as my ISP gives us unlimited bandwidth usage. It is called Coon Valley Coop. They do Internet thru the Iowa Networking System and also do Cell Phone service too. I count my blessings for sure.
That is awesome. I think Verizons tower is 3 miles away and I have to run 2 usb repeater cables to the modem outside in a coffee can to get broadband reception. Oh well. The price I paid for livin’ in the country!!
