Broadband access in the country?

[Hebert]

I'm thinking about buying me a piece of land in the country somwhere between jennings and lake charles..lacassine,iowa, welsh area would be great......is broadband available out the country now? i got to have broadband since i do alot of online gaming...can't handle dail-up..so it would be a deal breaker for me lol

also anyone know what a acre of land goes for in that area these days?

The Jennings area is served by AT&T so you should be able to get broadband there. I think Iowa and Welsh are served by CenturyTel they also have broadband. I'm not sure who serves Lacassine.

Best thing to do is once you find a piece of land you like. Try to get a physical address and call the local telephone company it'll probably be either AT&T or CenturyTel, give them the address and they can tell you if they offer broadband in that area, and what speeds are available.

I also know you can get Internet VIA some statellite companies, but I wouldn't recommend that, especially if you do online gaming.

I live in between Lake Arther and Gueydan in a "place" considered Klonike. I have satelite internet from a company in Kaplan Kaplan Telephone Company. The Main and only office (ithink its the only office) is located in Kaplan about 20 miles from my house. Im not sure how far they go, but its worth looking into. Never had a problem andbest of all...... when I call I talk to an American who can be at my house working on my problem in less than an hour..Check em out... www.ktconline.net/site.php
