[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 233673, member: 13"] Thanks. I'll look at their site, but this is a local company. I was talking to the installer at my neighbor's house. He said the tower has been in place for quite a while, I guess the company is renting band width from whoever owns the tower? My neighbor says the cost is $200 for installation and $40 per month. We're paying $30 for dial up right now. I'd gladly pay the extra $10 a month for faster service. I had thought that I'd go with the satellite earlier this year, but it's so much more expensive that I held off hoping for the wireless. We're in a lower area and have a tall windbreak between us and the tower. Apparently there's a direct line of sight requirement, so we may have to put the reciver on our antenna pole. But I'm pretty hopeful this time that we'll actually get wireless. There are some newer towers around here. For those who don't want government "handouts", some of them were built with government grants to help rural businesses stay competitive with urban businesses. Sounds like a good investment of my tax dollars to me. [/QUOTE]
