Very off topic but since this has become kinda catchall thread, thought I'd ask here.
I'm looking at options for some kind of high speed internet in a rural area. Xfinity says they service the area but after checking with them, they say my house is too far away from a hub and the signal would be too degraded so they don't service my address. No DSL providers that I can find either.
The only two options I can come up with are Viasat and Hughes Net. I don't like either one. I'm trying to be able to stream Netflix/PrimeTV. I might even be convinced to pay the price but the upload/download speeds (in my area) of these two options suck! I've also looked into using a hotspot from a phone company such as ATT but it's not really viable for other than surfing the internet.
Wondering if the collective might have some ideas. Thanks,
Denny

Just click on the "In Flight Service" section of DeltaNet to see the details -- IPY (extra pay) to fly for basically every base in the system. And they are asking for volunteers to return from their Leaves early (until Jul 31). A large group returns 1 Aug from the May-Jun-Jul 3-month PLOC, but management has completely botched staffing until then.

Here is the kick in the ****. Comcast/Xfinity cable runs along the road in front of the property. The houses that are closer to the road have cable. Because I’m set back......no cable for me.....because I’m to far from a “hub.” Not cost effective for them to put one in.

EDIT: and like a good teenager, I accidentally chopped that cable up when my dad had me use a rototiller on the front flower beds

I believe my parents had the same issue. They live on a flag lot and I think they ended up paying to have the cable run to their house. Might be worth asking a manager about something like that, but it’s probably going to be expensive.

Badge expires next month, anyone successfully have the new one mailed? Don't feel like commuting if I don't have to, plan to call CPO just wanted to see if there has been any luck.

Lol! I talked to the local Xfinity store and they sent someone out to take a look and see......came back with a no. They then said to call 1-800-COMCAST and see what they say. I haven't done that yet. Heck, I'll get a ditchwich and did the darn trench myself.... Paying a little extra to get it would payoff in the long run........depending on how much extra it costs.

Seems to depend on the CPO office. The DTW CPO says in their newsletter if you Fedex yours in and they'll ship one back out. I've heard others were more difficult.
