We live in the country in ne Tennessee, and are currently on dial-up internet. My computer is Windows 98(vanilla,not SE) my husbands two computers are Windows 95 and a newer Dell w/WindowsXP(I believe). The older Windows in back-up, usually no internet service, but he does hook up once in a while. There is no dsl in the near future. I looked into Hughesnet but there are many unfavorable reports, plus a high monthly fee. We already have a DishNetwork for the tv, they said they can hook us up with broadband. Does anyone have experience with this, they said it will be 10 times faster then our dial-up?

Do you have cell phone signal in your area?

Barely.

Turns out internet through Dish Network is with WildBlue, which for the lowest plan says speeds will be up to 512 mbps, I currently get 42,666bps. So even at half the maximum speed of WildBlue, this would still be a lot faster than our current speed.

No need for any responses. We have decided to not go through Dish Network and will use dial-up for now.
