| How about Directv internet? I have Directv and they always advertise on their commercials they have High Speed Internet service. I think it's pretty expensive. I haven't checked it out though 'cuz we get internet thru our phone company. Maybe their website has something about it you can read up on. Sorry I am no more help than that. |

| Breny - we live in the country too and we have our DSL through BellSouth. I can't remember which "bell" serves your area, but you might check with them. Initially we had a several weeks wait to get the service started, but we have been up and going for several years. |

| My husband has a broadband wireless card. You can get them through Alltel, AT&T, Verizon and some of the other big carriers. They are $60 for the card and about $60/month and about the same speeds as you listed. The plans are different as to what is considered "unlimited" and some have a cap. He says the Alltell one is the best deal right now. Hope that helps!
