I’ve been ranting about this for a week.
I’m less than 30 miles west of Ann Arbor and I can’t even get DSL, yet the UP has Wimax. I’ve been pulling the chains of every wireless company to expand, dammit, and let me pay YOU every month. I don’t mind if it’s not screaming fast — I’ll be thrilled with 2-3 Mbps down — but do NOT even suggest caps and throttle/overcharge. Been there, done that, won’t do it again.
Teachers can’t assign homework where internet usage is involved, or they have to carve out class time for it. My daughter had an online Japanese class and had to depend on weird library hours to do her assignments. And this is just the start of the nuisance lack of a decent internet connection causes.
Okay, I’m getting off my soapbox, but it’ll be nearby.
obviously not as good as DSL....what about Satellite?
