No, we have OTA broadband service via two-way line of sight radio. From when we moved out here in 98 until 05 we were on dial-up
, then on cellular for the next few years. We tried two other OTA providers but they were unreliable, then found the current provider a couple of years ago and have been happy with the service.
DD#1 lives a few miles away and is in a [-]dead zone[/-] valley where they not only cannot get the OTA service, they have no cell service either. She went with a satellite provider (
Exede) and has been happy with it - although my teen grandson is always grousing about the monthly download limit (our OTA provider has no limit).
