Alright, so here's the deal. My parents want to get away from their shitty dialup connection. They live in the middle of nowhere here. The thing that sucks is that there is no DSL FIOS or broadband available there and it might be 2yrs till Century Link brings DSL out there. A couple of their neighbors are using Directway satellite but they claim that it's expensive to not only get the service but to buy/lease the equipment. And the speeds aren't real fast for what they pay.
I'm thinkin the best way to go is the wireless USB modems. Virizon Sprint and AT&T are available here. Plans run around $60mo for 5gb with a 2yr contract. Any one here using this setup, and if so, what do you think? And would you recommend it?
