Wireless Broadband - Options?
I live in a rural area (Camas, Washington), currently using 28.8K dialup.
ISDN is available, but far too expensive for home use.
I'm too far out for DSL, Cable isn't available out here, and we have too many tall fir trees for satellite (I've heard lots of negatives with that anyway).
We live up on a mountain, with nothing between us and the surrounding areas other than the trees surrounding us.
From what I've been able to determine from online listings, the nearest Wi- Fi "hotspot" is probably 5-10 miles from here.
Wireless seems ideal, but I really don't know what options I have available.
I found one company locally that provides wireless internet service, but they seldom respond to my emails. They apparently came out to test the signal and couldn't get a good signal because of the trees. They said they had another "non line of sight" system, but I haven't heard back from them about that.
Anyway, what wireless technologies are available that might work in my situation?
Thanks,
Anthony
