Well, spent the weekend out in the land time forgot.  Trimmed up some of the Oak trees and cleaned the pool.  Had a great tim.

Yes, this place has no DSL or Cable,  I can only get Sat internet or try ATT's new wireless data service. (voicestream, verizon and nextel all just suck in my neck of the woods).
 
EMBARQ sucks ass.   I'm working on an old copper fed slic out of a CO that itself  fed with an by a Paper Cable (you can see the air manifolds all up the highway into town ).  Haven't these clowns ever heard of Fiber Optics?  WTF it is 2007..........Its like Medieval Times  " Embarq on a journey into the past".


Here is a  satellite  view.

My Wife's dad lives in a similar looking area and has the same problem. No cable or DSL, he has to run satellite or dialup. And when those are your only two choices, satellite is the better choice. I had a friend here that kind of lived a little bit out in the boondocks of the bay area and he had the same problem. He was on dialup for a long time until he got WiFi from a golf course that went in bordering his property. We're just spoiled.
