Internet Trouble
As about the only human on Earth still with dial-up, I can honestly say my days are filled with turmoil. Web pages are slow to load, downloading is out of the question, and seeing my friends photos on the internet? Forget about that, too. I too often have to resort to using somebody else's connection to do the things everyone else does, to be "normal". In the mornings before school, I will often use the internet at my boyfriend's house to do my necessities (that is, check email, facebook, myspace, random games). However, I can still blog on this website as it takes little to no time to download, which amazes me and is a relief because this is something I actually want to do.

I do not understand why phone companies decide they do not wish to run phonelines out where we live. Our only option out here in the wilderness is internet by satellite, which is quite costly. Which is quite ironic because not even a 1 1/2 miles down the road are people getting DSL and cable internet! So my question is this:

How lazy does a phone company have to be to not install a few more phonelines to allow the other 20% of the population the luxuries of fast internet? Is it really that complicated? If a team of men can install phone/electrical lines all over the country of America, why can they not afford to spend a week or month or so installing MORE cables for willing/paying customers who only require the fastness of the world wide web? I honestly do not know...
