Got a little work done today

I'm jealous of people that don't have to drive 30+ minutes to get to a decent restaurant.

I have to do that from our little 3 acres in Piedmont; 30 minutes from everywhere.

I lease the place. Had it for 15 years now. 35 minutes from my driveway to the gate.

I'd GLADLY give up convenient restaurant locations in favor of living out in the country where I can shoot. If only there was such a thing as good rural internet (Come on Elon Musk!!!)

Right, we have a blazing speed of 1.5m dsl... It's terrible and satellite internet is too expensive with the limits they place on them.

That's why I'm on dialup. DSL isn't even available here.

And my connect speed is only 28k (on a 56k modem). :/

My family moved into our barn apartment in May about 15 miles from town, and we went almost 3 months with no TV or WiFi. I finally settled on ATT/DirectTV as our best option. It’s not great, but it works.

I work from home over the internet, so unfortunately, until they figure out how to get real speeds in the country, I'm going to be stuck in town.

Yeah, it sucks. Our only option for 10 years or so was Exceed satellite internet and it had a 10 gig monthly limit.
Zero video's, or music. I could browse forums but not view any of the links that usually contained auto start video's, etc.
New company came to town last year and we get pretty good speeds now with unlimited data plan.
