content: So, you seem to know it all, lend me your superiority here: I live between 2 towns (1 mile to one, 3 to the other) but outside of "city" limits thus I don't get cable service.  I also got lucky and live in a hole with no cell reception... just some lovely rugged terrain and trees, lots of trees.  Keeps me from getting OTA TV as well, and Dish/DirecTV are spotty.  There are no wireless ISPs near me (and they'd be hard pressed for line of sight anyway)...  but I do have copper and thus DSL.  For $65/month I get 6/0.5 advertised speeds which are more like 0.05/0.000000001 between 2pm and after 10pm.    What do I do?  If I cut off the ISP/sue (where THEY cut me off), I've completely isolated myself.  No phone communication, no digital communication, etc...  Maybe one of the Sat ISP options would work, but more likely they would have issues like the Sat TV does.    You just make it sound like there's an easy option that I'm missing, so please share.
