<cable provider does not allow for me to link via cable> That's probably a hardware limitation. I believe your service has to be fiber. Cable modems were unusable here until last year, at which time I used both satellite and cable for a few months until I convinced myself that cable was more stable. Satellite can be very fickle here on the East Coast; one needs a larger dish and DBC does not either seem to understand that or else they just refuse to ship that dish. The small DSS dish works fine for television here, but the DBC signal came in on a one meter dish. The only other thing you can do is expensive; put in an ISDN line. Not nearly as good as cable, I'm afraid. I looked into it for awhile then when the cable company upgraded the equipment ISDN was not a viable option any longer.
