Miss Ritter's finest hour, the scene pictured in the photo.
Well, you won't believe it - I can barely believe it myself and yet I must believe it because it is true. I called the DSL people back, just to get the latest tech info into the record. I got a really nice guy, and he ran a test on my line (others have done so at every step) and here is what he told me: You're too far from the base station to get DSL." Yes, you heard it here, dear readers, I am too far from the base station to get DSL. Now, wouldn't you think that at some point someone would have figured this out? I canceled service and everyone was very apologetic about it.
I now have to decide on an alternate plan of attack. Direct TV has a company that does high-speed internet, does anyone here use them? I think it's called Directway or something. They use a satellite dish and apparently (according to them) it works great. However, for the first fifteen months of service the cost is $99 a month, which is just nonsense. Fifty of it is paying off the 500 charge for the dish. So, I don't think I wish to do that. I certainly won't do Adelphia cable because I hate them with a passion. So, what are my alternatives, dear readers? Do any other companies in my area offer DSL or cable or some other form of high-speed? I look forward to your thoughts.
