I currently live between two homes that have wireless broadband however my house is blocked from the antenna by the house across the street. Cable isn't offered, AT&T U Verse just deployed in my neighborhood but I'm apparently about ten houses too far away for the service to reach. I have two options: 3G card... Terrible latency and a 5gb cap. Screw that. Satalite maybe? Even worse latency, data caps and REALLY expensive.
I live in a freaking broadband dead zone. Oh and I live 15 mins outside of the fourth largest metropolitan area in the US.
@TSSaloic I'm actually in Just west of Dallas ft worth, sorry I didn't exactly look up what the size rank(it's late and I'm tired lol) I just remember it being in the top five, either way it's kind of sad. 4g is growing but still about 10 miles from me. I check every couple of weeks though.
@TSSaloic Haha that would have helped a ton. That article that was posted a couple of days ago about AT&T bonding two phone lines together to increase range was encouraging so we'll see. At least I can go back to school in aug and have 10 up 10 down again, my brother is the one stuck here.
HP has had plenty of time to fine-tune its finger-friendly TouchSmart software, and now, its newest model, the TouchSmart 610, ushers in a fresh design, highlighted by a hinge that allows the display to slide down and lie nearly flat.

*sigh* I hate dial up.
@gfrantz What bit of Houston are you in? Also, are there problems with Sprint/Clear/Comcast (All provided by Clear) 4G service?
@gfrantz
Damn dude. Thats harsh. I could never imagine having to go back to dialup...

@gfrantz Ah, well hold on man. Also, why did Jerry Jones not put in a giant WiMax antenna in New Cowboys Stadium, that might have helped here.

Because he's evil. Anyone that looks like a praying mantis won't be interested in the common good.
