Are you living out in the boonies... far from the city and relying on dial up for your Internet? If so, I bet you don't spend a lot of time online... waiting for your slow operating server to download that image or website can be agonizing. I remember those days, before high-speed Internet was available.
If you're feeling left out of the fast-paced lifestyle so many of us enjoy on a daily basis because you thought you had no other option... think again! I just found an option for you for internet satellite providers through Mybluefish.com. I'm there now learning about satellite Internet... something I'd never before considered.
I have family that live out in very rural areas that would benefit from satellite Internet with speeds up to 1.5 Mbps. There are three available packages, depending on what you're looking for and what your budget will allow for, but all come with free installation.
I'll just share that if we didn't have a quick Internet connection, I wouldn't be able to work from home the way that I do. So much of what I do online is dependent on a reliable Internet connection that moves at least as quick as I do. Being a busy mom and entrepreneur of sorts, I'd be in a world of hurt without a high-speed connection.
One of the worst things about a slow server is trying to pay bills online... have you ever had your computer just stall on you? Leaving you wondering if that bill payment request went through or not? If you're in that type of position, because of where you live, consider satellite Internet! You'll be glad you did! 
Living Rural Doesn't Mean You're Stuck with Dial Up
