DSL too slow for remote building location, Need good alternative
Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2012 8:24 pm
We recently installed a complete Internet network (WIFI & Hardwired) in a remote building in a more rural location. Pretty blue sky and open fields but we discovered a drawback by being so far off the beaten path.
There is no cable service in the area so we were forced to use DSL. The problem with DSL is the fact that we are too far from the telephone switching office to get a good connection speed. We are seeing speeds of 0.6Mbps and the they said they can't give us any better at this time. This speed can't maintain a steady video feed and if more than 1 device is connected I'm sure the connection will screech to a hault.
Does anyone know of another ISP that maybe uses a satellite dish or something that can be used as an alternative until a cable operator eventually thinks it would be worth the investment to string up cables in this remote location?
