I live way out in the country in Alabama. I finally got DSL about a year ago. It is great when it works, but there are always problems. I recently got a whole month of phone service and DSL service free, because of all the problems. I think they have things worked out now.. hopefully..

Good Luck...

Direcway #2/Transcribing in the boondocks of Ohio!

I should've explained the reason for my question in the first place. I live in rural Ohio, really rural, and besides dial-up, which, by the way, worked okay until the cold weather hit, a little slow, but okay, and a lot less expensive than DWay. The only option I had, that I could find anyway, was Direcway. Have any other Ohio MTs found anything else out there that works? I'm in northeastern Ohio, about an hour from Pittsburgh, PA.

Direcway#2/Transcribing in the boondocks of Ohio
Hi, just wanted to mention that I recently moved back to IL and to a rural area. In order to work, I invested in a laptop with the wireless network car through Sprint. The techs at the companies that I work for feel it is a bit slow, but its the ONLY option that I have right now and also, for one company, in order to download reports to be able to work, I do have to use a dial-up connection. However, other than a bit of a lag, I really don't seem to have any problems with the wireless network card.

I also researched Verizon (who is the local carrier here) and their coverage only went to a certain area.

I might mention too, that the trial deal is ONLY if you are an existing Sprint customer and since they consider it a second phone line, you have to pay a $150 deposit up front, so its not enitrely "free" and I believe for unlimited service its around $50-60 a month. Hope this helps.
