What are my options if DSL and cable are not offered in my area and I need internet service?
As long as you have a phone line, you should be able to sign up for a dial-up internet access plan. However, if you live far away from any metropolitan areas, be sure to check out an ISP’s access numbers before signing up. If a local access number is not available, you may incur additional phone charges, such as long distance charges, from your local phone company as a result. If you need a high speed internet connection, your only real option at this point is satellite internet service. Satellite internet access plans can be quite expensive and installation can be costly as well. Be sure to look over the terms and conditions of a specific plan before signing up.
