There is no cable on the island I live on. It is all dish related, including TV. We have some DSL service but it is limited to those folks on main roads only. We all have lousey looking satellite dishes plastered all over the place..... The telephone lines were run under the water, off the poles mid lake, some years ago. No cable company wants to spend the money to run under the water for so few people.


Money speaks. I laugh when the commercials on TV talk about rural areas getting state of the art internet.... you have to be kidding me.

My cell phone service is horrible too, no towers nearby, thus I have to have a land line.

We also have NO McDonalds, Burger King...... no high school........ on this island..... I think the total population for the few towns on the island is near 5,000. We will be in the dark ages for years to come.
