My wife and I are looking to buy a house on 8 acres a good ways from any town down here in Texas. That is awesome, except that I'm 99.9% sure TWC doesn't run wires out that way, so we'd be shit out of luck for internet. The bad thing about that is that I like to do some gaming...specifically iracing...which requires a good internet connection, and they specifically don't support satellite internet.
So, because of that, it seems to my untrained eye I have 2 options. DSL and 4G LTE.
I know DSL can be pretty stable and reliable and provide pretty decent speeds. Is that still the case? What kinds of speeds are you looking at? My wife and I like to watch Netflix, and/or download large files off of itunes for TV shows, movies that aren't on Netflix, etc. So I'm talking downloading several gig files.
4G LTE. I don't know a whole lot about how LTE works. Is this type of internet a viable option for playing a game like iracing that is constantly sending and receiving data to the server about the location of a car and car around it? The biggest thing that scares me is how much it is a month for this type of internet access...as I'll be using 100s of gigs a month. I have the feeling this isn't a viable option after all.
I'm really hoping TWC runs a cable out there since the service I have through them is pretty kick ass down here in texas...but I don't know. The house was built in 92, so cable was around then, but I doubt the original owners of the house cared about cable TV then...much less getting it set up for internet. If I could get any feed back, that'd be great.
TL;DR
Moving way out of town
need high speed internet
play games like iracing
does DSL or 4G LTE work for this?
