Directv uses a satellite receiver. ANYONE can get it. My friend who
can't get DSL or Cable has it. Works pretty good (not quite as good as
most cable/DSL and useless for online gaming) but it betas the holy hell
outta dialup. Weather does affect it, but not as bad as you think.
Think he is paying 59.99 a month though.....

Are you refering to DSL through Direct Tv or do you you use an actual
satellite connection? If so, I'm wondering how it is and how much. I
have
sprint DSL right now, And they are pissing me off with their bullshit
charges. Don't have access to cable and would love to go some place
else.
