Oh, I have a cable modem connection. Only because the gov't did some "wire the territory" project a couple years ago! Otherwise I'd have dial-up or nothing. Lots of people up here choose to live without phone, electricity, running water ect.
Wow! I'm surprised you have cable. I have a friend who lives in the countryside (where there ARE people........a house ever 4-5 acres), and they had to get satellite internet because they didn't have cable or dsl there, and they didn't want dial up because it makes the phone busy. How in the world could anyone live without electricity/running water in such cold weather? I think I'd freeze to death!
