I have a new place in a location where there’s no cable and no DSL so at this point dial-up is the only way to go for the internet. I’m going to work from there from time to time and I can use dial-up, but it’s a pain. I’ve been looking at this direcway satellite internet service that’s provided by direcTV. With a special dish you can get both direcway broadband and direcTV. It’s a bit spendy but it looks pretty neat. I haven’t really heard of it until now. Are there any country dopers out there using it? Thanks!
