When we lived in the country we didn't have access to cable so we had a satellite dish service. Some satellite companies carry service, ours did not in our area. Have her contact the service and ask them if they offer it in her area.

She's better get used to dial-up. The satellite service will cost her about 3 times her budget amount plus she'll have to buy additional equipment. And to top it off, the satellite service is not that good.

Verizon just started a DSL for $14.99 in most area's .

Just do a search for her for DSL/dail-up with her zipcode and that should bring up a list that you can get to her.

Plug her phone number in on the Verizon website and it will tell you if the DSL service is available to her. If she's in a rural area, its not likely available. We live in No. Virginia in a heavily populated area, but can't get DSL as we are too far from the nearest 'station.'

I also was TOLD by Verizon I could get dsl and then low and behold after about 3 weeks of waiting for my equipment I called back and was told they tested my line and I didnt qulify. I also live in a pretty populated area. I was pretty steamed by them. Good luck finding someone. I am lucky that I can get cable internet. I would cry if I was on dial up.
