My parents live way, way, way out past Acme,WA two houses down from Mordor. They have dial up, and a refurbished 2Ghz PC that I put together for them. It takes my Mom half and hour to load a page with a picture of the grandkids. There’s no hope of ever getting broadband out there, or so I thought. I recently heard on the radio a plug for a company called WildBlue, which is Internet over satellite and claims to have about 1.5Mbs download speeds or the equivalent of a T1 line. The cost is comparative to ordering Comcast Internet which is rant unto itself, that I will save for latter.
I think my folks may be moving so I might never get a chance to try it, but I’m curious to hear any feedback about the service.
