I live in an area completely sorrunded by farm land.., the chances of a DSL or Cable connection seems to be very slim..

there are three solutions that I can see to this problem.:

1.ISDN
2.Satellite
3.Buy my own line

ISDN seems to be basically a combination of 56k lines.., you get a optimal speed of 128k..
I really dont know much more about ISDN then that.., other then the fact that it is aviable anywhere 56k is..
I need to know:
is it always on?
How much does it cost?
Will I need multible phone lines, ect.?

Satellite seems like my best option if ISDN turns out to be too expensive, ect. it is availble anywhere you can see the sky.. I know that it isn't too expensive.., the problem is that the initial hardware is alot...
do I have to get services with-in the country? (I am in the US.., I know that there are cheaper sevices for Canada, New Zealand, ect.)

buying my own line is never going to happen unless I win the lottery or something.., it is a nice thought though.., think of what one could do with a single OC3 line...

thanx in advanced,
Byan
