Her last post was about a week ago. She's still active. We didn't do anything to her.

Michigan might have access but if her brother isn't paying for it she can't post, now can she?

Also are you seriously saying that nutty's bro has no Internet or you are saying nutty went on the trip without her laptop? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING |

About 20 percent of this country, or one in five households, has no Internet connection.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

I know from my own trips to northern Wisconsin that cell coverage is spotty. I'd imagine that Internet can be too. |

If you want to get technical, I announced that they may indeed have access but she can't access it because her brother is a cheapskate.  |

About 20 percent of this country, or one in five households, has no Internet connection. I'm actually surprised it's not higher. 98% of US households have access to high speed internet. Not surprisingly, a high % of elderly decide they don't need it. www.nytimes.com/2013/08/19/technology/a-push-to-connect-millions-who-live-offline-to-the-internet.html?pagewanted=allIn my family my 75yo father does not have it, my sister and BIL don't see a need for it neither does my Uncle. My brother has high speed internet. DH and I have satelite internet (can't get high speed where we are). SIL has high speed as does my MIL and FIL. DD's class has a family that don't have internet or TV by choice. When we had sleepovers we were always very careful to get approval for the girls to watch certain programs and/or DVD's. So there are families who even today choose not to have TV or internet in their homes. |

I found this out talking to folks in northern Maine a few years ago. They had telephones/cellphones, but no Internet, at least not at that time. It's very rural, with sparse population and apparently not worth anyone's while to spend the money to provide Internet access. |

I happened to need to know about their Internet capability, and they informed me they had none. |

I had very limited 3G coverage on St. George Island in Florida last week. The town itself had better coverage, but out at the state park, it was spotty at best. |
