Quote from: Tom SnyderJackson has wireless Internet... and it's provided by the Village as a ulility. One of the first in the country to do it that. We know SOMEBODY provides Cable, cuz there's a cable box at the back of the lot.


There's a very interesting story behind that wifi internet service in the village.  But  the last I heard it fell through.  I could be wrong.  And yes Charter is the cable provider.  Do they cover the entire town?  I can't say for sure.  It depends primarily, if not soely on population density.  It took 10 years before they brought it down my subdivision road, and the main cable line ran right past our subdivision on Pleasant Valley road.

OK... was coming down to crunch time as we're close to pre wiring/cabling the house. I made my decision... I'm going back to DirecTV in the new place...but I'll be installing my dish right where the Cable would be coming in so I can change my mind later if I want. :)

So any new info on what my Broadband Internet options are... besides cable?

If I am assuming your still talking about your sister in the village of jackson.  You then have 5 possible local options.  Charter Cable which my son just got at $25.00 a month,  Village Of Jackson WiFi, not sure on the current price,  or if you can see the big Hwy. 60 tower just east of Hwy. 41 then you have the option of Netwurx or Nconnect wireless, rates vary.  Last but not least is SBC DSL.  I have Netwurx wireless here in the town of Jackson. :)
