Well oregon is there but in my area there isn't which is the problem. I'm exactly 1/4 mile out of range for Cable, 5 miles out of range for wireless, About 20 miles out for DSL same goes for ISDN & Satellite internet is availible but I have trees around my house so paying $90 a month and $500 for a dish for internet that will have a severe latency and probably not work half the time just is not worh it. Plus i'd still need to keep my dial-up for upload.

Must suck. My in-laws can't get cable or DSL either, but Satellite is available :thumbsup: (And expensive as heck, I might add)

Eh, my friend that had satellite said it was better than 56k but worse than cable. The problem was that it was like, $70 a month, plus $300 up front non-refundable or soemthing like that...

Depends on the company. Some are upwards of $99 a month with a $700 dish..plus $15 extra a month for a dialup account so you can upload
