The city or the country? Broadband web access or something else? I weighed these choices before I moved to the boonies. Satellite internet access is the only choice aside from dial-up. It’s a big step down. It’s a big letdown. Fair access policy (FAP) and bandwidth throttling, no VPN, a system that has its own locked-down NAT and DHCP, no newsgroups… what more can you not want?
I found a nifty utility to monitor bandwidth used before the FAP kicks in, but since it costs $25, I hesitate to endorse it in any way. I’ve already spent enough just to get mediocre internet access: $500 for the equipment and installation, a $60 monthly fee; now I have to pay more just to manage this service?
Almost make me want to go back to civilization. Almost.
