Rural Internet That is not Dialup

For years now people in rural areas or just on the out side of town have been unable to get fast internet service.  Sure the DSL or cable company keeps saying they are working on getting service in your area but it’s been a years now and still no action.

Well if your looking for rural internet then you do still have several options out there.  One thing to consider is using a high speed satellite internet provider.Satellite is way lower in price then it used to be and the speeds and reliability have only gotten better so if you have not looked in the last year or so at this then it's time to take another look.

Check and see if any local cell cariiers in your area have wireless broadband internet service.  Places like Cricket, Sprint and AT&T now offer internet service at 3G speeds using their cell phone towers.  You can learn more about such services on this wireless broadband internet site.If you do not get good cell phone reception with any carrier in your area then this option is not for you.  Always be sure they have a 30 day period were you can cancel your contract.  This is to ensure you get a good signal over a period of time.There is nothing worse then getting stuck in a contract for a year and not being able to use the service.

There are big differences between satellite and 3G wireless broadband service.  With the wireless service you have to use a USB cable modem and you can not share your connection unless you purchase a separate and special wireless modem.  With Satellite you are able to use any wireless modem you like and share that signal. If you have over one computer and want access on them all then often times going with satellite is a better way because it is always on and you can use any router out there to share the connection.  The price is very similar and the speeds are generally a little better on the satellite end.
