You have some choices. 1. Wireless for an ISP who will put it in for you. Cost is a directional antennae at both ends, pointed to your hiemat. Cost? Dunno, attennae, and modem at both ends. Gotta be 2000 at least from memory. Could be less these days. Range is 5 to 30 miles depending on whether is is 2.4 ghz or microwave frequency. (2) Uplink phone, downlink satellite, which is 1/4 second delay for pages, not bad. (3) Cable which has no distance problem. Shaw or Rogers probably do your hillside. If you can get Cable TV, you can get internet. Or ADSL if you are less than 4 miles electrical distance to the switching bank/modem outlet. I had thought that was one way, not round trip. EC<:-}
