Moving to Marin Co :) Can't get high-speed Internet :(

2 points·tincircus··8 comments

I'm moving to Marin Co. from the East Coast next week and the house is about a mile from the highway. Comcast and won't service it and Verizon says it's too far for DSL. Am I stuck with celular service or are there other options in the area?

I am not sure why you have a ":)" next to "moving to Marin". I've lived there for two months after having moved there from the East Coast. I've hated every minute of it, and I had high-speed Internet.

Different strokes. I've been away from the Bay Area for a decade and I can't wait to get back to my native land.

I live in Marin. It seems very strange Comcast won't service it. Are you living on the docs?

Sort of. A house out in the wetlands.

I even went for Comcast business to get them out for a site-survey, but they won't do it, and it seems sonic is tied to the telcos, so that's a no-go as well.

If it has a good view of some civilization I bet there are some point to point wireless internet providers in the area.

Pics? I'm curious what your surroundings look like.

I'd live there without ANY internet if I had to - http://imgur.com/a/blPyd

Very cool. What are you doing there work wise? I've wanted to move west for a while and a few months ago I took a work vacation in Prescott, Arizona for a month and a half.
