   Unless Dallas is in the situation where I am: there is but one single choice   
   for an ISP in my area (there is satellite access    
   but that's unreliable).  You either get access through this company -- in my   
   case, it's CenturyLink -- or you go without.  CL is    
   notorious for its lousy customer service and weeks-long wait times to get   
   things fixed.   
      
   The reason why we don't get anything else out here is that there's not enough   
   customers to get government subsidies to invest in    
   the physical backbone so no one bothers.
