Down in the valley there are several choices for DSL. Up here,
we're sometimes lucky to have electricity. One of my expeditures in
the near future will be a generator to keep the computers up when we
lose power. All it takes is a squirrel to climb up inside a
transformer (fried squirrel) or a tree limb to fall on a power line
and we're out for 5 hours to 2 days.
I'd be more than happy to pay $50 for fast, consistent upload speed.
Running list, mail and web servers doesn't require the download
speed, but that's what DSL brings.
If I could get enough neighbors interested in wireless, I'd bring a
T-1 in. The guy who runs my ISP was trying to convince me a couple
of weeks ago. I'm far from ready for that though. Besides, I don't
think I have enough "line-of-site" neighbors to make it pay.
