If they ever do that in my area, I would lose my internet connection.

My only option would be internet via satellite.

I have no cable in my area and only one service provider for landline phones.

Radio reception in non existent in my home.

I need an outside tower antenna.

Cell phone service is rather spotty as well.

It is a small price to pay for my tranquil rural lifestyle.
