What high-speed internet options are out there?

steve asked:


I have a client who bought a house in the middle of nowhere and neither Comcast nor Verizon offer internet access in that area. What are their options?

Is high-speed internet over a satellite possible? What about T1 or something like that (how does that work?) ? They are located in South West Florida.

    Satellite is possible. T1 is a cable - your client would have to pay build charges (the cost to build a cable out to him) and monthly charges that would probably run close to $1,000/month (or more if maintenance is a problem - like part of the cable crosses a swamp or a waterway). Long distance wifi may actually be the cheapest way. the initial cost is high (he’d have to hire someone who knew how to do it, and he’d have to pay for the equipment), but the recurring charges would be the normal Comcast (I’d use them in preference to Verizon, although the choice is really the lesser of two very evil evils) monthly charge plus, unless he has property where Comcast covers, a monthly rental fee for a tiny bit of “office” space for the equipment at the Comcast end. (If he’s line-of-site to a Comcast property, they may even provide their end as part of a bundled price.)

    10 miles is easy. 237 miles has been done, but it’s not easy. (It’s way past difficult.)

    Direct TV is the best but expensive. Verizon makes a unit similar to a cell phone. check Verizon.com. i think its $60. per month.
