Hello,
My parents currently don't even own a computer, but they just recently started to catch up to the rest of technogoly world, My sis and I bought then new Sony 32 HD tv..
A Blue ray player that supports Netflix..
They are always asking me or my sister to look something up for them. There Lan line phone line out there is so bad, You'll lucky even get a 14.4 bps connection.. Sometime the phone line is dead, no dial tone, usually after bad storms, That's why the bought the cell.
Anywho. I would really love to get them some kinda high speed internet out to my parents farm. Some kinda
of bundle High speed net and phone Voip or something. Since there cell phone is more reliable then home phone.
I also know they have long distance plan for we have family still in Ontario.
I would love to able to show my dad Netflix at the farm.
5-7 Mbps or so would probable be more then enough for them and should be enough for netflix?
I'm kinda new to what is all available for rural/farm areas. My parents are about 17km from Crossfield,Ab and prob about same distance to Acme Ab,Canada.
I'm know Sat type internet would most likely be or cost way too much for them.. So am I assume they need
some kinda dish/hardware that would have line of sight to Cell tower to get internet?.
I see Telus has some kinda mobility service.. Aprox how much that run? I'm hoping they perhaps could get maybe some kinda deal.. Something cheep enough that would
replace there lanline too, Maybe they could get Telus Sat too. As My dad has been starting to get annoyed with Starchoice, They do not have HD box yet..
Aprox what be bill for say internet/Voip phone? Would they need get there own router? or use there own router?
Yes I'll be either giving them rebuilt computer or get them Laptop. heh
Thanks for any info
