Sandy ...
My internet connection is kind of a rube-Goldberg kind of thing ...
We don't have broadband in the mountains of northern California. It's not cost effective for companies to bring it up here. So, the fix is that I have an antenna on my house that picks up a signal from a microwave dish that got the internet signal from broadband. I have to have line-of-site from my antenna to the dish to get a connection.
As for WiFi ... it depends on where you are located and whether or not your router can get a connection. It's easy to get a WiFi connection down in town, but I can't get one at home. You can actually see Main Street down in town from my property. There is a meadow across the road that slopes down from my elevation which is only 200 ft above Main Street and I can see the town. I just can't get the signal necessary to use WiFi.
