Internet service is available via satellite, a friend of mine in a rural
area has it.

I still use dialup. Nothing wrong with dialup, it teaches one the virtue

There's lots wrong with dialup when you're downloading multi-megabyte files.

I don't really have any interest in having a fiber optic connection to my
home, and do not believe taxpayer dollars should be spent on such a thing.

Yeah, I guess the interstate highways were a really lousy idea, too.
