    • Rural internet woes

      This is my first time coming across this site and while my question is not exactly IT related, I was hoping someone might have a few good ideas.

      I recently moved to a rural location (zip 14525) and am trying to find internet service to meet my needs. I have already tried calling all of the providers in my area; spectrum, frontier, att, etc; but none of them run cable to my house.
      With cable ruled out I looked into satellite internet but decided against it because I am looking for internet with latency in the 20-100ms range and satellite from what I understand is 600+Ms.

      Is my only option left hotspot internet? And does anyone know any decent providers that provide hotspot internet without a phone plan?

      Ideally I would like something with low latency that a pc could connect to the internet from without having to tether a phone.

      Side note: we currently have Verizon and the LTE/3g on our phones is very spotty through Verizon, cutting in and out quite frequently.

      So one follow up question: if I do purchase a Verizon mifi product like the jetpack, is there hardware to increase the signal and keep it from dropping out?
