We pay over $100 for Frontier. T Mobile may go 2 miles up 97, but not 5 miles … I’ve tried, not available. Same with Starlink. Not available. I’m with you Donald! We pay over $100 for Frontier.

I'm look to try T mobile but I'm being told it's not available in my area. Yes, I have two internet providers as a telemedicine provider.

Why does it even matter? Not like anything is going to change... The far north end and the south end get the cable and fiber etc, the rest of us in the middle are stuck with Frontier, Hughsnet etc... I'm tired of these tests and surveys and promises but nothing has been done in 20 years. We have been behind the curve for bandwidth since the dawn of dial-up, and it's no different today here, we are still grossly behind the rest of the world including 3rd world countries.. there are 3rd world countries with better internet than in the middle of the county. Prove me wrong. So no, I'm not taking your tests anymore... Do what you gotta do with the internet. Why? Why does it even matter?

We are being ripped off by hughes net, we pay almost $100 a month for 30 gbs and in less than 2 weeks it’s throttled back to less than 0.1 mbs. This is a rip-off and we have no choice.
