I do know people who make do with satellite or wireless hotspots but it's obviously not ideal. Of course, you don't need to be in the back of beyond to have Internet access issues. My Xfinity has been acting flaky of late--though not clearly bad enough to deal with customer service hell--and Verizon FIOS isn't available at my house. I'm not in a city but I'm adjacent to a small one and only about an hour from a major metropolis.
