ATT problems....

Don't get satellite internet. It is very slow and patchy. I had Wild Blue at my old office at the Boerne airport and I hated it. It wasn't much better than dial up in most cases.

There's a reason why the satellite providers only compare themselves against dial-up.

Everybody else is advertising they are faster than cable, AT&T, etc...

And the satellite companies have Fair Access Policy, which means that if you download over the limit in a 24 hour period, you're cut off for the next 24 hours. No warning!

Could try that or Sprint, but if he's in an area that doesn't even get cable, it probably means he's in a remote area so it could mean not the best of signals for a wireless card. Even in some urban cities/areas I can't get a decent signal for my Sprint card, it reverts to regular wireless phone connection and it's like using dial-up internet at best.

I have had Direcway satellite and it sucks I still have the unit in my back yard. My brother uses verizon wireless and it works great for him. I use ATT and do not have as much hassle as I did with satellite
