High End Herps (Inquiry)

Also, wouldn't it stand to reason that someone with $100,000's in animals would use high speed internet?

Yes it is possible. However, that information would have to come from the ISP itself and they generally do not release that information without a subpoena

Bob there are still places you can't get High Speed...I think you would have to go through his Provider to get a number and I don't think they'd give it out...Randy

Maybe their house payment is too much?

Seriously though; Oakdale is a nothing town, just a spot on the map. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if HS access isn't available. I would venture to bet that even DSL is not available there.

Keep in mind also that Level 3 is a backbone provider. They are not an ISP. It is not out of the realm of possibility that David/Damon is using a local dial up number. The IP address resolving to Houston does not mean he is calling into there. It just means that is the closet backbone for Level 3. He very well could be using some very small local ISP that leases their access from Level 3.

I found this just doing a search for "DSL access 71463"

It looks as though he may be able to get high speed access.

Sorry to post again, I realize that they are NOT a ISP but they do set up LAN's. Which I think are used in conjunction with ISP's. I am not really computer litterate so I am probably way off!

They do set those up, but they're nationwide so their advertisements will list all that they do rather than what might be available or needed in each service area.

A LAN or Local Area Network, is nothing more than a group of local computers linked together. For example, I have three computers in my house and they are all connected to one another. That is a LAN. This LAN can then connect to a single access point like a wireless router and access the internet. The link you provided is to a company that provides technical/repair support.

Although they state on their site that they setup broadband connections, all they would be doing is installing a router and connecting all of your computers to it, (setting up the LAN.) The actual connection would be provided by the local telco or cable provider. You would need to check with them to see if it was available.

This is very true. It is also true, for whatever it is worth, that high speed internet is available anywhere in the US with a southern exposure through HughesNet. Of course David/Damon/Tawni would need a valid credit card.
