i have recently moved to a rural area and am having trouble with my internet
connection. actually it is my telephone service as a whole, someone's
electric fence is "bleeding" into my line. the consistant "hummmm pop,
hummmm pop, hummmm pop" is allowing me to connect at a blistering 21600 on a
good night. needless to say, i am looking at a different way to connect for
my internet connection. cable and dsl are (according to official sources) 5
years away, at best.
the telephone company (CenturyTel) says they are uninterested in running a
new line or tracing the problem, so i am stuck as they are the only service
in the area.
has anyone used DirecWav or some other similar service? i plan on looking
at "dslreports" later today, but was curious if anyone had a suggestion.
