House I might rent doesn't have internet hookup? Is this a thing in 2017? The place is pretty damn new and apparently doesn't have an internet hookup. Wtf? Is there something I can do to get internet?

You need to get off the internet and I will pray for your soul!!! No house just has internet running to it. You get your internet through either your cable company, satellite provider, or AT&T, etc...

God damn dumbest shite I have ever seen posted on this website!!!

Internet hookup as in the house isn't wired to the internet. I'm well aware a house needs to be wired for internet. Dude you're from Alabama, sorry I didn't use the right terminology. You can go back to fricking your sister now.

Anyways, the house isn't wired for internet--happy now morons? Any options?

The house doesn't have a coax cable in it?

Is that what you are trying to say?

"isn't wired for internet" makes no sense at all

Call the cable "internet" company, buy service and they will come run a line into the house.

Please don't confuse me with this guy. Thanks

OP: call the cable and phone companies

There are many places that have Fiber to the Home.

I have to read into what you're typing but it sounds like my house, which has "internet hookups" in terms of coax wall outlets and even fiber running to my house...I don't have any traditional broadband or fiber ISPs that service my address.

I live in a house built in 2007 in a new subdivision in Fort Worth. Apparently Charter had dug out their max number of lines and no new hub has been built. So no traditional cable/broadband. AT&T has fiber running to our neighborhood, and fiber running to my house. But in 2007 AT&T thought that a DSLAM unit would be good enough. And despite the fact that people have moved out of the neighborhood, cancelled their AT&T DSL service, and opened up slots on the network...they won't update their website to show availability to my address, and nobody has the power to send a tech out to check and update the system. Similar problem to what this old article refers to LINK. So not only do the new houses across the street (literally across the street) have gigabit service, I can't get DSL.

I live in a city of 800,000 people, in a house/community built in the last 10 years. My internet options are satellite internet or through a wireless carrier i.e.. AT&T/Verizon/Sprint/etc. I went with Verizon...so I pay about $70 a month for 10GB of data.

If your situation sounds like mine, do not rent that house. You are very unlikely to ever get an ISP to service your home if they don't already and AT&T has no plans of delivering on previous promises made to the FCC with previous mergers.
