I have a friend in a more rural part of our area with a half mile long driveway and he can only get satellite internet. He works from home several days a week so he needs decent internet. Whenever he’s over visiting he can’t believe I let swagbucks run non-stop. His kids also complain because they can’t stream anything. I guess this is a perk of being in an established neighborhood in a suburb. I took it for granted.
It's very frustrating. It's funny too, because I am not really THAT far out in the country. I mean, it's just under ten minutes to a major shopping center from my house.
I can't even imagine, though hughes is our other option. We won't go that route but I still don't understand why that's your only option and why we only have one. And that cost to run it to a house is crazy. I would imagine you could find someone else to run the wire and then comcast could hook it up at the pole or something. They can't be the only option or I'd try and negotiate that price.
We are considering having someone else run it for us. Unfortunately, my neighbors and I have asked Comcast multiple times about a quote to purchase the cable itself and then have someone come hook it up and can't get a straight answer.
