I should know better. I was talking to someone from the local phone company about a little problem with our line and he told me DSL was available now at my place. Not only can I get it, but it's cheaper than what I was paying in town last year. Something I need to check is how much of the potential speed I'll actually get here. The 1500 kbps service is $30 compared to $70 for 1000 kbps with HugesNet. With the Hughes service I'm guaranteed 650 kbps, so if I get at least that with the DSL I'll have to switch.
It really surprises me that DSL is available here. We're 4 miles from town, which has one traffic light and didn't have a restaurant until recently. The closest larger town is 15 miles away and there's almost nothing but farm land in between.
Never say never and I mean never.
