Post Internet Providers
I recently just moved more inland from the coast(still had crappy internet there). i live on the outskirts of town on the country side. i am having interweb issues. i currently have some crappy ass provider with the name of hughesnet. they told us after installing that my computer would get excellent connection (what a load of crap) but it sucks dick....cant even play minecraft without lagging the F*CK out. i do believe comcast just kinda laughed at us cause we live in the country side and told us that we dont get service here. what are good internet providers?

It seriously depends on your area. Go to the nearest city's website and they might have a utilities section that lists the available internet providers in the city. Start by calling all of them and/or going to their websites to see if you're in range for service.

Isn't Hughesnet a satalite based ISP? I worked with a couple people out on Farms at my old job that had it and they all had a satellite dish. It was terribly slow

Comcast said the same thing to me, I just wanted their internet but they said since my area didn't really have as much Comcast customers I had to get the whole deal (phone/tv/internet) and the costs weren't in my comfort zone (i'm broke and don't pay the bills anyway).
