Oh I just knew something more had to be bugging you, I'm so sorry.

I'd be angry about that.

NetZero has that...plans start at $10 mo. Mobile wi-fi anywhere.

Cellphones don't work here.

You are not saying where "Here" is. Normally, the internet works like a bead chain, your signal comes from some other pcs that comes from some other pc. Just for kicks, check your pc wireless and see if you don't have people in your area running.

There is also satellite pc. I am sure bin laden was successfully hooked to one from tora bora. Satellite Internet is doable.

Introduced in the mid 1990s, satellite became the first mainstream consumer wireless Internet service. Satellite access initially worked only in one direction, for downloading information. Subscribers needed to install a standard dialup modem and use a telephone line in conjunction with the satellite to make a functional system. Newer forms of satellite service remove this limitation and support full two-way connectivity.
Compared to other forms of wireless Internet service, satellite enjoys the advantage of availability. Requiring only a small dish antenna, satellite modem and subscription plan, satellite works in almost all rural areas not serviced by other technologies.

However, satellite also offers relatively low performing wireless Internet. Satellite suffers from high latency (delay) connections due to the long distance signals must travel between Earth and the orbiting stations. Satellite also supports relatively modest amounts of network bandwidth. http://compnetworking.about.com/od/wirelessinternet/a/internetservice.htm

Wish you luck.

Dial up? What do they call that funky sound the computer makes when it's connecting on dial up? I know it has a name....

Funny thing is (DAMN I'm gettin' old!), I'll betcha there's already a whole generation of kids now, who've never even heard that sound!

I had forgotten how annoying that screeching sound was until I clicked on your link.. I heard that same sound for more than 12 years.. no more though.. high speed wireless.. is so much better!

Might ditch that and splurge on Hughes Net.

Damned government ought to be ashamed of itself, not taking care of us oldsters in the Third World sections of the GOUSA.

Hughes Net no faster than dial up during the day.

You need to check the "Fairness in Wireless Act" Hughes has to throttle down your speed during the day, to the point that dial up is just as fast.

My experience is strictly anecdotal, but what I've seen of satellite Internet service is sporadic bursts of high-speed data transmission followed by extended periods of no throughput whatsoever.
