Beginning early October, AT&T will stop selling new DSL subscriptions. You can verify for yourself at

So what does the rural farmer use for Internet service?
First choice would be WiFi6 low-band (5G)— but that is not available yet (sigh)
Second choice would be a Satellite service — at some expense
(Satellite 25 Mbps $49.99–$150.00/mo.)
How does it work?
Step 1
A request for a Web page is sent from your computer to a satellite in space.
Step 2
The satellite contacts the Network Operations Center (NOC) which locates the specific Website you have requested.
Step 3
The Website beams the information back along the same path to the NOC, then to the satellite, and then to your computer through your dish and modem.
