Who do your folks have as an ISP? The Knitt household has been rockin’ on the DSL for quite some time now. You would think if little ol’ St. Germain had high speed, then the sprawling metropolis of Eagle River would certainly have something available. Of course, the end of Shangrila Road isn’t necessarily “in town”.
Yeah, you nailed it there– living right off the major thoroughfare versus “in the middle of the woods” is the big diff, I think. My ma could correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the phone company keeps talking about how they’re going to upgrade the lines at some point, but it just never happens. There was rumor of a high-speed wireless option from NewNorth Net once, but that was a no-go, too.
We have the same problem in Minocqua, so whenever I want to blog, check email etc.. I go to the Comfort Inn at the corner of Highway 70 and 51, park my car under the big sign that says “Free Wireless”, and I’m good to go. 🙂
Hey, Joe! nnex, for right now. Going to get dial-up for “free” in a couple of days. Isn’t that a bargain? Yes, you would think we would have it seeing as folks living on Twin Lake have dsl from the phone co. They jusy don’t understand how they are stressing me!

You see? I can’t even spell “just”!!
