I am moving next weekend. And there is NO DSL available, period. Anyone on a wireless set up? My kids do a LOT of Netflix which is looking to be an issue. So far, I have looked at Wildblue, Hughesnet, and Verizon. I must say, I am appalled at the lack of a functioning website for me to be able to browse. Either the search doesn't work, it won't let me search because I am not an existing customer, or my zip code (which has been in existence for years) is not valid...

Cspire is supposed to roll out their LTE service in the next few months.

I have a Verizon MiFi hot spot . It is 3g right now , but is up for 4G LTE up grade . It works good and everyone picks it up . Password protected so the neighbors cant steal data . We use less than 5 g data a month . typically 3g and movies will eat up the data . 3 of us and we al have smart phones with 2 g each .

Nope to the Comcast, which is a bummer, as that is what I am using now. Verizon 5g will (according to them) do about 20 netflix downloads, which means about 3 days or so before hitting the wall. (seriously). And Cpsire is my mobile carrier, but I don't want to wait 3 months for them to start up. May just do the dial up thing until they do. That might wean the data hogs I live with, lol...

Yep, live with a Netflix hog myself (the wife). Sometimes I get so fed up that I threaten to make her get her own DSL line, but I never follow through with it.

As for the zip code thing, you could probably get a better answer if you call them. I know it sucks, but if it means getting DSL, it might be worth it.

Years ago I lived in an area that they claimed didn't have DSL. We were on dial-up for the first year, until one day my neighbor mentioned that he had DSL. I called Verizon again, and again they told me no. I told them my neighbor had it and then they were like, "hang on". They came back and said, "oh yeah, you can get it". LOL

I am moving back to my old home. I was still on a party line there in 1995...
