eh, we didnt get that specific. but even if you have like satalites, dont you still need some sort of singal that might be interupted by say a hurricane that cut off the phone lines?

If you're talking satilite wireless internet then that has nothing to do with phonelines outside of your house. But that is freakin expensive and can cost upwards of $100 a month for way slower speeds than DSL or Cable, those are mostly good for companies like sears where their repair guys have vans and go out to repair stuff. Like this one repair guy came to our house and was accessing the web from his laptop via WiFi to his van which had satilite internet. Useful for them, for the home user, not useful. No-a-days, if you have certain types of cellphones, you can surf the web, we're talking actual web, not WAP and hook it up to your laptop through a special cable and get internet. This pretty much maxes out at like 50Kbs though so it's still slow, but the technology is improving.
