Cistern, let me tell you first, that I feel your pain.

I move from Philadelphia, PA to Galena, MD (go ahead, google Galena MD, I'll wait)

I live there for 3 years before finally moving to a slightly more civilized area. For this 3 years, I didn't have shit for internet, which really cut into my gaming time.

The only available internet providers were HughesNet (satellite garbage, lesser race) WildBlue (satellite garbage, lesser race) Dial-Up (Lol $30 for dial up and another $30 for landline, fuuuuuck that) and a 4g hotspot (Verizon Jetpack)

After about a year of living there, I finally decided to go with the Verizon Jetpack. It's about $50 a month for 5gb of data. Unfortunately, the 4g connection was so shitty where I lived, that I could really only do one thing online at a time. So if I wanted to game, I couldn't use vent. If my wife needed to do work online, and I wanted to game - welll someone wasn't doing work that night (lolnotreally).

Lived like this for 3 years. We finally bought a house and I got some decent 75down/15up speed interwebs. Funnily enough, the day that we were moving out, xfinity was bringing through some cable internet type shit into our old hood. But who the fuck would want to be associated with Comcast nowadays anyway.

All I'm saying is that if you can't find a decent DSL or cable modem service, do not succumb to the horrors of satellite internet and just go with the 4g verizon jetpack.

Make sure you have a decent 4g connection around you, though. If you're getting 2 unstable bars of service, you will be pissed off.
