After waiting almost two months for Verizon to "move" my DSL line from my old place to the new townhouse, and enduring one excuse after another, I finally got a call stating that DSL service is not available in my area. Of course, this is wonderful. My address change cards went out with my Christmas cards and they stated that the e-mail and cell phone numbers were going to stay the same. Now, I guess I have to do another mailer stating that the e-mail address is going to change.

Okay, enough complaining. I am now trying to figure out what is the best high speed internet option other than DSL. It appears that DSL would have been the cheapest, but cheap doesn't matter when I can't get it.

What are your guys' thoughts regarding cable vs. satellite? It looks like Satellite will be $600 more expensive over the first 15 months, but that it will be the same price as cable after that. Is satellite worth the extra $600?

Are there any other alternatives to satellite or cable, other than dial-up access.
