Default Internet Options I'm Not Aware Of

So it's about 99% now I'll be moving to a rural residential area. As far as I can tell, the only available internet is DSL, (and 6mbps at that), no cable provider, or fiber (Uverse/FIOS). I was thinking maybe to do hotspot with my 4G, but that would be too expensive.

I'm looking at you blackax. This is in Riverside.

You are looking to move out to the woodcrest area right? Check to make sure charter doesn't serve your new place. I don't know of a place in riverside that can get DSL and not charter.

I don't know what the area is called. It's by the orchards off El Sobrante

I did. No dice.

There's electricity and water, that's it. No sidewalks, street lights, sewer, gas, . . .uh, road (there is a dirt road). Yet it's half mile from a development. Probably just out of range.

Pray its riverside electric, Your bill will be half of what it would be with Edison. My friends with Edison is an APT spent over 400 - 500 a month this summer, I spend less then 250, and that will shop tools, servers on 24/7 and AC going.

I'm pretty sure it's Edison. . .

However, especially if I settle in and feel like I'll be there for a while, I'll go to a full off grid combo system (generator, solar, wind with a battery bank.) All of these things are getting rapidly cheaper and higher quality. Even if I just do a bit to back feed and drop the bill to zero point.

Confirmed. It is Edison. On the upside, looks like NG might be available if I wanted to have it connected.
