Computer/Internet issues causing me emotional distress

[FrankWhite]

I am in a rural area, and we are very limited as to providers. Either, DSL (which we have) or Satellite internet. I guess one would be just as good as the other. When it storms the DSL goes out anyway. I have contacted our provider numerous time. I've received several free months, new equipment, and had technicians out at least a dozen times. And sadly, believe it or not, it works a lot better than it did at the beginning of the year. Luckily, I have a 4g phone, a tethering app, and unlimited data though Verizon. Truth be told, last time I ran the computers internet though my phone and ran a speed test It downloaded 3x faster than our DSL. I would get rid of the DSL and just use my phone all the time if it wasn't for the other people in the house, the need for Wi-Fi to run the tablets, and the fact that while tethered, my phone slowly drains instead of charging and would die in just a few hours. Still, the answer will be to try to remember to tether up before registering as it will serve as a fail safe.

Oh, I know. And I've reported it so many times. The fact is, I'm sure, my area doesn't produce enough revenue to pay for the need repairs/upgrades. And from a business standpoint, I understand that. I just wish they would come out and say it.
