Really? Most of North America still has it's power and communication lines
on poles. It really isn't feasible to bury them in countries the size of
ours.

Sadly, yes. In rural North Carolina we have no choice except Direcway
satellite which is notoriously awful to deal with!!

Yeah, but how much do you really need to deal with them? I've been on
DirecWay for two years now and I've had to deal with tech support twice,
and customer support never (admittedly, our reseller is much better at tech
support then the stories I hear from Hughes' customers).
