[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 2090514, member: 24583"] That is my number one pitfall of living in the country, poor internet service. I have used Melenicom mentioned in an earlier post for over 3 years. They use the Sprint Cell towers exclusively. My area had 1 meg service but it was in reality faster than the wired 3 meg ATT service I have at another location. $70/mo unlimited usage with only a month to month contract. The only consideration is if a true 1 meg speed is available from Sprint at your site. If that might be an option, try to get someone to visit that is using Sprints cell phone service and try a speed test. [url]www.sprint.com/speedtest[/url] would be a comparison to what I know. If you can get 200 or so second latency and around 1 meg from 7PM till 11PM when the tower is loaded it might be an option. Other sites were similar but varied. If that might work, you might PM me, I have additional information on a USB and wireless router setup that might work.. [/QUOTE]
