      @scottalanmiller @Danielle-Ralston Isn't that about 10 minutes from your old stomping grounds?

      It literally IS our old stomping ground.

        You aren't that far from @DustinB3403.

        I feel your rural internet woes. You may want to see if there is a local telephone company that provides DSL to that location. The other option, and I'm not sure who does it out there, is a wireless internet service provider.

        He’s apparently next door to @SonshineAcres

        What's your dad use for service?

          Spectrum goes to his place. He lives by the tower.

            Frontier is the local telephone company. He tried them.

              Ah got it. I know there is a wisp up there I just don't recall the name. If there isn't that entire corridor is a serious untapped market.

                Verizon is, by far, the best provider there. Most work there, but Verizon is the fastest and most solid. It Verizon MiFi doesn’t do it, no other cell provider will cut it.

                  It’s too sparsely populated to bother tapping.

                      Can you see (line of sight) any buildings from your house that have high speed? If you're slightly technical, you could set up a Ubiquiti wireless bridge for $200-$300...

                        Not aware of a WISP there.

                          That’s got to be the only real option. It’s a hilly area so possible.

                                  So one follow up question: if I do purchase a Verizon mifi product like the jetpack, is there hardware to increase the signal and keep it from dropping out?

                                    LOL, well that explains things then.

                                      There can be hardware that helps with that, but nothing is great.

                                        Do you have line of sight to anywhere? Any other farms or houses?

                                            Contact them. ask to have service put in there and then use a point to point wireless link from someone like Ubiquiti.
