Okay, so maybe I do live out in the middle of nowhere....  but I'm so frustrated about having no internet availability!   Argh!   How am I supposed to sweep when I can't even get online? 

Okay, I'm blowing things out of proportion.  I CAN get online...  with dial-up.  But it seems ridiculous to pay $40 for a landline phone + dial up on top of that to connect at 26K.  Sooo not worth it. 

Can't get an air card for my laptop through my cell company (no coverage), can't get DSL/cable, can't get satellite (we're currently not expanding in your area), can't get WISP....   

What's a girl to do?  I'm seriously considering moving!   

Just feeling in a whiney mood tonight.   

Awww, maybe your hubby will see the error of his ways!   

For now, I get by on using wireless at the library (not nearly as comfy as sitting home in bed on the 'net, though) and logging onto what few pages I can access at work when we're slow (like tonight...  I work nights, so I post at odd hours LOL)

When hubby was in rehab, the kids and I lived in a tiny apartment in town.  It was a hellhole, but I could get cable there!  Looking back, it was almost worth the dismal living conditions just for the cable...   

  I feel your pain girls. I was on dial-up for several years. If I had to be on dial-up again there is no way I would even consider sweeping. Lucky for me DH wants everything as fast as he can get it.  I guess having those fast motorcycles around was good for something! 

I moved to the country last year and I am from California. I had cable and DSL in California and now I use dial up. The company I go through is always down sometime during the day and yet they don't even prorate customers for the downtime. (Bellsouth). A few times in the last few months they had been down for a couple days at a time but, they want to be paid on time or they have no problems turning you off until you do.

I wish my speed was quicker, it's so slow but, I am grateful that I have internet.

Yeah, I too know how you feel.  My dial-up is at least as fast as it can go...but still...that's slow!  What stinks even more is that I work for a telecom equipment company that MAKES the equipment that provides high-speed service(s).  I could get my phone company the equipment they need to make it happen, but they won't shell out the money!!
