Grabbing the laptop and heading into town to the nearest coffe shop or MacDougals to surf the internet can be a cheap way to go, but also inconvenient. When I travel I always run into the same things. Slow speeds if there a lot of other users, getting the evil eye from the barista (doesn't he know this is a coffe shop?), Worrying about your gear (if you have to go to the bathroom), and the shakes from too much caffeine. Don't even try the library. You might feel that it is your only escape from dialup if you live in the boonies. Have you checked all of the possibilities?
One good thing to do is to simply check all of the companies in your area, what their plans are, and how much it will cost you. Perhaps service has come in after all. You can use our Wisconsin high speed internet price engine to compare what your options are and what the rates are.
You may already know that you live too far out to get dsl, but cable broadband internet sometimes has a further reach and when it is bundled with your cable tv is often cheaper.
I can't get cable that's why I have a satellite dish. Then maybe satellite internet is also your only option. Satellite internet providers could be your only option even if you don't live that far out, just in a secluded area.
Satellite internet has speeds that can be as high as . This can depend on the weather though and other factors. Since download speeds need to be higher than upload speeds for most residential users, a dialup connection can also be used for uploading.
If you are a small business, such as a gas station in a remote area, you might also be interested in a fixed wireless solution.
