Dish internet unavailable in Southern Ia.

My former wife lives about 8 miles West of Oskaloosa Ia, I finally convinced her to signup for Dish internet(she has Dish Tv), she called 888 347 4419, got some guy she couldn't understand, but was told it is not available in her area. Does this sound right, if so, does anyone know when that area will be served. Thanks ron

It could be true, DishNet is setup for places that does not have dsl from other sources available to them. If dsl is available from another source, it would probably be cheaper than what DishNet charges.

Thanks for the reply

She does not have dsl available.

I think I remember the ad that said that in some areas a Dish Retailer would be the one to get Dish Internet from. Possibly that would be an option?

It is highly possible that DishNet doesn't have an actual presence in her area.

May be hope

I just called "Satellite Guy LLC" in Oskaloose a retailer, (wish I had thought of that before) and he says she can get it. So we will see what happens. Thanks ron
