There is no cable or DSL on Eslinger RD in Nre Market, TN.  I am wondering about Satellite---Wild Blue in particular, or any other nifty alternative I don't know of.  I MUST have high speed to do my work.  Please help if you can.  Thank you so much.

Without cable or DSL, your only other options are satellite or Wi-max through a wireless cellphone carrier.  I'm sure it is possible to configure it such that you can share the connection to multiple computers for wi-max, but it's probably non-trivial.\n\nBesides Wildblue, there's also Directway and Starband.  However, WB is Ka band spot beam technology, and is expected to handle fairly high capacity.  Someone I work with has just gotten WB to replace her Directway, and says WB throughput was much, much better.\n\nHope that helps your decision making process.  Good luck.

You cant. You need a landline to get DSL since its connected through the phone lines. You need to get Cable instead which is basically the same price and its so much faster. Try going to http://www.comcast.com or http://www.charter.com and see if they have service in your area. If you get cable, you dont need to have a phone line and you can get VOIP service instead...which is SO much cheaper than a regular phone service.

yes that's why, you have to find streams meant for dial up.\n\nIt's not as expensive as you think. A lot of phone companies anymore can get Yahoo DSL for $14.95 a month.

DSL has a distance limitation, and this is most likely the reason it's not available in your area (it's not available in my neighborhood either). For DSL to work properly you have to be less than 18,000 or so wire feet away from your telco's central office. If you are too far away they won't offer it. There are technologies to extend it, however, most of the telco's (Verizon and AT&T) are switching to fiber networks. Verizon is going to go with fiber to the home and AT&T with fiber to the node. When those roll outs are finally completed, you'll probably be able to get vdsl (very fast dsl) in your area. Might take a few years though.

DSL is a generic term, but it generally refers to the unused bandwidth on a copper pair coming into a building.\n\n[--voice--] [------------- data -----------]\n\nBy that default definition, you cannot get DSL over a fiber-optic line.  It's very possible that you have a fiber-optic line running in front of your house, and you'd be unable to get DSL.  DSL is a distance-sensitive service.  There is a device the phone company uses called a DSLAM (DSL Access Module) that is installed in the phone company's switch.  There has to be 3 miles (roughly) or LESS of copper between you and the DSLAM in order for it to work.   \n\nYou might want to check with SBC (now AT&T) about other high-speed options, or you might check with your cable company.\n\nIn 1996, before DSL, I had an issue with being able to get high-speed, and the only way I could do it was to buy a T1 line (which, at the time, cost $4,000+ per month).  I accomplished it by setting up 48 modems and selling dial-up service to fund my T1.  that's how I became an ISP.  Today, I'd do the same thing...but I'd fund it by selling wireless connectivity to my neighbors...since if you can't DSL, they probably can't either.

I returned yesterday from Maui, HI they use Comcast cable...Comcast provides Internet access also. DSL Internet access is provided via the telephone companies.  I would definitely try calling the main telephone companies etc., AT&T is one.  I know they're big in Maui they may be big in Oahu as well. Unless you already know that Cable service is not available in Oahu or you are not happy with the costs, try calling the local Comcast number in your area or dial 808-555-1212 and ask the information operator for the Comcast Cable phone number and for AT&T as well.  I'll go one step further:  here's the number to Comcast 866-886-7475 and AT&T is: 800-222-0300 and give them your exact location so they can check for available service in your area...Good luck love!  Hawaii was a blast! Everyone should go at least once in their life time.

I changed from ntl to BT for my home Internet and I'm sorry I did. Ring NTL and tell them your gonna go with someone else and they'll offer you a cheap deal, they did that with me! LOL

I checked all the links for you and couldn't get through. I have a highspeed connection and a wicked good system so I doubt it was anything over here on my end. \n\nNothing went through.\n\nKeep on Truckin!

If you have DSL available in your area I would say definitely go with it.  With satellite Internet you request has to go up thousands of miles up into space to a satellite, then down to their NOC(network operations center) fetch info. from Internet bring it back, beam it back up to satellite and back down to you waiting patiently on the other side.  One could see why there is latency.\n\nDSL is through the phone lines. It stands for digital subscriber line.  The phone company separates the analog voice from the digital information being sent that there is no conversion from digital to analog and analog back to digital as in regular dial up modems. Usually DSL uses PPOE in which you put in a username and password to initiate the connection but after that you can stay on.  I'm not sure if  all require usernames and passwords it all depends on the provider.\n\nBut definitely go with dsl unless you signed a contract with wild blue.

It does depend on the router, but we're probably talking about less than 1/2 mile.\n\nYour only option in rural VA might be satellite.  In addition to the tradition satellite companies (Directway and Starband), there is a new satellite ISP, but not available everywhere in the US yet:\n\nhttp://www.wildblue.com\n\nI think you can check on the website if the service is available yet in your area.  The prices might be similar, but for higher BW.

A decent deal that has a reasonable price and with a company that provides dial up internet connections that you know are a reputable company for providing a dialup connection in your area. Although with the way things are going it may be worth while looking into getting a dsl connection ( depending on where you are and the prices ) of course. Just a thought.\n\nDSL will be a lot faster and you never get cut off and it doesnt interfere with any phone calls.

The offer is only available to new residential DSL customers and will run from February 3 - June 30. Customers are required to order online.\n\nThe offer includes:\n- DSL Express - $12.99 for 12 months\n- DSL Pro - $17.99 for 12 months\n- $49.99 Rebate towards modem or AT&T Wireless Gateway\n- AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet CSI kit\n\n\nOn May 1, 2003, SBC began offering Basic - S and Expert Plus promotions (defined below) in all regions except for the Northeast. Midwest Speed Tiers changed from 384 Kbps - 768 Kbps to 384 Kbps - 1.5 Mbps, and from 1.5 Mbps - 3 Mbps to 1.5 Mbps - 6 Mbps. Any Members with the original Speed Packages of 384 Kbps - 768 Kbps or 1.5 Mbps - 4 Mbps in the Midwest.\n\nThe following products were added to all regions.\n\nStatic IP Low Speed (up to 384 Kbps) \nDynamic IP High Speed (1.5 Mbps - 6.0 Mbps) \nOn March 25, 2004, SBC began offering the 1.5 Mbps - 3 Mbps Expert product for both Consumer and Business and discontinued offering the 1.5 Mbps - 6 Mbps Speed Tiers Product in all regions except in the Northeast.\n\nOn April 26, 2006, SBC began offering the Speed Tiers Elite product in all regions. The new speed tier is 3.0 Mbps - 6.0 Mbps with both Static and Dynamic IP capabilities. The product name is DSL Elite,available at 6500 ft (CO) and 8500 ft (RT). This product is available to both business and residential consumers. This offering allows SBC to compete with cable TV companies and to match products that are being offered with FTTX (Fiber to the Home) speeds.\n\nOnce you order for SBC (actually AT&T now) DSL, you would be provided with the equipments that you would be needing for your DSL Internet connection (such as the dsl modem, filters, data and ethernet cables) so you won't be needing to buy them. But if you are planning to connect several computers to the internet the you would need to buy a router for that or you can also tell the agent that you would be needing the 2wire modem/router (also capable of wireless connection) because you would be setting up several computers. I'm not sure if you're gonna be charged for this kind of modem/router though.\n\nI would have been able to provide how much their service meight cost for you if you only provided what city and state you are in. But for pricing and billing inquiries,I suggest you call this number 1 888 792 3751, this is their number for orders and 1 866 722 9246 for their sale department.\n\nOr you can also visit the following websites:\nwww.sbcpromotions.com \nwww.sbcsignup.com \ndsl.yahoo.com

You need to call AT&T and ask; right now we are rolling out FTTN {Fiber to the Node} with the intention to use it to proved all of your communication needs.  I believe that is what you are referring to, but I am not at work, so I cannot look it up {they call it a number of different things in different places because of all of our recent mergers}.  If it is, you will be one lucky sap bro, they are going in hot in heavy to buy the market from the competition, the prices will rise in the future of course, but they are intending to provide your TV, Phone and Internet connection for about $80, it will be a steel, get in on it if you can.  You will not be able to beat the speed or quality of this connection, when you get it.\n\nThe reason why I believe it is that is because there has been no announcement of change the DSL title to High Speed and I think they would want that known company wide, they are trying to get everyone on the same page as fast as they can.\n\nJohn B.

Satellite has some pricey up front costs but bandwidth can be similar to dsl. Before deciding check out cellular based broadband (often slow in rural areas), or microwave frequency internet providers such as BeamSpeed in Yuma AZ.

Move.  Seriously.  Why can't you get satellite internet?  That should be available anywhere.  When I was in Iraq, satellite internet was my only good recreation.

There are a few providers of satelite internet out there but the upfront cost can be prohibitive.  There are also a couple of cellular companies, Sprint & Verizon come to mind, that offer wireless access off of their cellular networks.  My father uses the Verizon service at his rural Tn home and it the truck he drives.
