This is what I have. Not the best internet I've ever had, but it gets the job done. My only other option is the local broadband internet and I didn't want to pay for the required home phone.techno-ag said:
You want a WISP, wireless Internet service provider. Typically you pay for a pole or tower beside your house pointed at their broadcast tower (often on a nearby water tower). DSL speeds, more or less, but no caps.
This. I live on my hotspot when I'm not at home.f burg ag said:
Do you have good cell reception? I have a wireless jetpack at camp that can give up to 15 devices wireless Internet. It is nearly as fast as my home wired computer. I have had 2 tvs, 3 phones and my laptop connected to it without a hitch.
+100 to all these. Hughes Net is terrible. Use your local WISPjtp01 said:
I use a WISP. Tried hughesnet and it was a train wreck. Slow, inconsistent and storms crippled it. Since we went wireless, we've had 1 outage (about 45 minutes) and they lowered our bill the next month for "downtime".

I may be screwed because I'm in the woods with no line of sight. I think I'd need a 60' tower or something. I'll explore though. I'm on Highway 30 by Gibbons Creek so maybe Windstream can service my place. I'll check. Thanks for replies.
You can get "unlimited" plans now, like with AT&T if you're a DirecTV subscriber, but they can throttle you back to 3G once you go over 30 megs or so.MouthBQ98 said:
You can also use LTE cellular hotspots, but watch the data caps. They will be fast and generally reliable though.
