AT&T like just about everybody else I talked to is at capacity. I can get AT&T directv, just not internet service. Just tried centurylink and they can't help because it's an AT&T service area. :he:somad The cell towers there are at cap (for everyone but the owners of the towers, evidently verizon). There is no FO cable at the street, and I can't find DSL service through a local phone provider. The local phone provider said they are at cap. As I said, my lowest monthly usage over the past 3 months was OVER 100 Gig. I can do dish, but they have 5gig speed max, 12 gig data/month max data of 40gig but 28 gig of that 40 is between 2am and 8am.

I don't know what any of this stuff means.. I don't know what a gig is (and dude I'm not very old so I have no excuse). But it seems odd that it's so hard to find an internet provider. I live in the middle of nowhere and could get it with one phone call. What's the deal?

It took me 7 months...... Call relentlessly. Often. Until they know your voice. There will be an opening at some point.

We have AT&T and live less than a mile from a tower. Even with that sometimes our service sucks. AND, we use our hotspots for internet service. It's not that bad...but it's not great either. I think we get 35 gigs a month and that's "almost" enough for us. We usually get a warning a few days before our month is up that we are nearing capacity. We could bundle with Direct TV and get unlimited and that's being seriously considered at the moment.

Just curious....how does one use 100+ gb of data per month?

Because I do online gaming. Even if I took that out, I'm online basically all day in one form or another. Also my home phone line is VOIP through my computer.
