Cutting the Cord Article on Dishes and Cable

[dmccarty]

Cord cutting? I wish. I live only 20 minutes from a good-sized town but there is no cable of any kind within 6 miles. Phone service is spotty/weak - and internet download speed is measured in kilobytes, not megabytes.

Can you get DSL from the phone company? That is what we have even though it is only 1.5 Mb down and the service is unreliable. Houses farther away from town have faster server but those close to town have slower service.

Even with 1.5MB service we can still stream video. We do have problems from time to time but I don't think it is the download speed but either the service provider or the streaming video company.

Later,
