I just got download speed of 96 kb/s and upload of 159 kb/s.
This is NOT "high" speed internet!
When we left Minnesota Aug 03, we were 20 plus miles from Bemidji, 3
miles from the tar road, 14 miles from the nearest milk-beer-etc and
no neighbors on our part of the township road. We did have fiber
optic cable at our phone box with high speed internet and/or cable
tv. The Paul Bunyan Telephone co-op was working at getting the fiber
optic everywhere.
Have hope folks in the boonies, it can happen.
