So the fiancée wants me to get wireless internet. Problem I know nothing about it.
I've been here 5 years and just use my phone hell is was a year ago I hooked up a TV.
She wants it for school going for her BSN after she passes state boards for her RN.

She wants to watch movies and TV shows. Plus study.
I'm not close to anything besides 2 small towns so I'm not very hopeful, plus metal roof.
Please help.

I have to use satellite for internet. Exede (Viasat) has added an unlimited plan to their service not cheap $150. They do reserve the right to slow you down after 100GB during heavy traffic times.

VOIP works without any problems.

The plan I originally signed up for, several years ago, was 10gb for $70. It was good for just internet browsing. Had to be careful with Youtube videos they killed the data supply. I just found out they had a new plan of 25gb for $75. Only difference was free data was between 3am and 6am instead of 12am and 6am. I'm in bed during those hours anyhow so it made no difference.
