need a dialup provider for Joy's mom, who lives in rural SW KY.
they've got no cable and they're miles from the phone company CO so DSL is right out. and they don't need 24-hr instant-on anyway. CHEAP IS A COMPELLING ADVANTAGE (fixed income). so who's good? i do not want to set them up with AOL if we can avoid it... NetZero? Juno? Earthlink? |

"city" ? hahahahahaha... it appears on the map as "Fulgham" which is loosely defined as the intersection of 307 & 58. last time i looked at 2-way satellite (when i lived in rural NV) the equipment buy-in was about $1000, plus professional installation required (they don't let just anyone transmit -to- a satellite) plus $50-ish/mo. it (almost) made sense for me but it's out of the question for them. the uplink data rate was low and the line turnaround latencies were pretty horrible. net throughput outperformed dialup but not as much you'd like and bang/buck was sub-great. |
