Do you have cable TV? If cable runs in your area they probably offer the best internet service unless you have fiber optic in your area which is very similar. If you have neither of those you'll probably have to get DSL from your phone provider. If you live in a rural area with neither you could do satellite internet, but it's not cheap or good generally.

Yeah, we live in the sticks and we dont have tv. We just watch movies. I just looked at the at&t u-verse thing, but i need to call and get more info. Thanks bub.

I have a wireless modem(USB) from Verizon that gets pretty good signal here. I get 5 GB of data a month for roughly $10 a GB. 5 GB is sufficient for normal internet use. The only issue I have is that if I do Skype or google chat or watch a bunch of videos it goes through your data allotment pretty quickly.

If you're in the sticks like me and must use something besides the cable or phone company there are satelite services available. My plan is about 50 bucks for 10GB a month and the speed is good but video conferencing or video downloads take up way too much of that 10GB. But my plan has un-metered data allowences in off-peak hours so you can schedule heavy downloads for those times.

Rain itself doesn't bother it at all but extremely dense thunderstorm clouds will block the signal but that is usually only for a few minutes. And it doesn't seem to happen as much as it used to. I've had this service for 4 years or more and I had an equipment upgrade a little while back and maybe the technology is better now because the clouds rarely block the signal compared to a few years back.
