ISSUES!!!

I'm having issues - boy am I having issues!!! My internet service is totally unreliable! OK - here is a little background information. Hubby and I moved into our house almost 2 years ago. It was a new neighborhood in an area thats just a little off the beaten path. Love my house - love the area - but there were/are some kinks.

One is cell service - there is none at my house. Now when I say were are a little of the beaten path, we are only 5 0r 6 miles off of a major road. But sure enough, just as I am about to turn into my neighborhood, my cell service goes out. No roam either!

The other kink is internet. We only have dial-up available through the local phone company. No DSL, no high speed wireless from the cable company...nothing. Here lately, my dial-up service has been touch and go. Even on its best day, it will take about 30 minutes to upload a pic!! Ugh!! Some days I can "hijack" my neighbor's unsecured wireless service...but here lately, I think he has caught on and turned down the signal strength or something! So, in order to keep the blog updated, I have 3 choices:

1) Take my laptop to the local Panera Bread Company-or another WIFI hotspot-and update my blog from there.
2) Update my blog at work
3) Sign up for HughesNet

I love Panera, but seriously - the odds of me getting in my car on a regular basis and driving 15 minutes down the road to update the blog are slim to none! I can't count on being able to work on my blog while I'm at my real job...there are "Net-Nannies" and all sorts of monitoring going on, so that's not a permanent solution. So that leaves HughesNet. Anyone out there have HughesNet??? What do you think about it?
