It looks like Cox Cable is out your way. As others have said, cable internet really is the best. I've had both Cable and DSL. I prefer cable. I couldn't get the exact details if Cox has high speed internet in your exact area because I would have to know your exact address, but you can enter it here: https://secure.cox.com/Service/Offers/availableservices.aspx? and it will tell you what services you can get.

Depending on how rural, the cable may not go out that far, and in that case I would go DSL. There is an option for satellite, but I have not had much success keeping a constant signal with satellite - which would suck in the middle of a battle. =)

Good Luck.

As you are most likely aware, options are limited. The only two real choices you have are internet via satellite or wireless service provider.

The service offered by satellite companies is reported to be marginally reliable, and the expense is likely to be prohibitive. Also, satellite dishes for internet weigh about 70 pounts and are about three times larger than a dish for DirecTV or its competitors. The most popular US provider is DirecWay (now HughesNet), and you can count on hundreds of dollars for purchase/rental and installation and $100/mo. for service plus the requisite hidden fees.

The second, more affordable option is to get a wireless broadband aircard from a mobile service provider (Verizon, Sprint, etc.). Cingular has what it calls "high speed", but it is on an older EDGE infrastructure that is effectively as good as a solid dial-up connection. A card from one of these providers will run you about $30 to $100 dollars, plus $50-$80 a month for service. The card is PCMCIA, but you can purchase a converter card for the back of your desktop with a slot that will accept notebook cards.

The first option is best if you want a connection for more than one computer in your home; the second option is plenty for just one computer, and if you have a notebook you will have the added benefit of internet access just about anywhere coverage is available. Neither solution is ideal, but depending on your location and available service providers, one may adaquately suit your needs.

Well, you're in then opposite corner of the state (I lived in Pryor) but I know what it's like in a small town. Your best bet is to get highspeed access thru your cable TV system.
I suspect your town may have DSL but one function of DSL that might impact you is that speeds of DSL vary based on how far you are from the central office where the equipment is located. Ninnekah may only have one or two Central Office Exchanges and your house may be too far to get good DSL service.

Sorry to hear that. Nothing may be available out there so you may have to try a satellite hookup. My brother lives in the Cascade mountains of WA state and has Starband, and he also had to buy a server. Good Luck

Are you responsive to the Thomas Registry. That became the way you got here across businesses and it required dealing with volumes of books. now you may want to do a glance for in a minute and are impatient if it takes longer. the computing device is a effective device of direction it really is likewise a porn cesspool yet ain't that the way it continually is Porn and technology look married like warfare and technologies
