You are fairly far from any major cities (broadcasters), and there are mountains between you and those cities that will block the signal. Radio is just as bad. Cell phone coverage is very spotty. | |

If a bill exists for this cabin's address, the police might find it while scouring the states for places he could be hiding. (Perhaps investigating rural areas by talking to the TV/ISP/Phone company to get a list of subscribers. It's not guaranteed to give him away, but like others have said, the point was to eliminate any POSSIBLE source that would find him out. | |

Reorganized question a little to make it more readable.

if a service call is needed, can you elaborate this part? What is service call?

| Oct 5, 2013 at 5:25 | comment | added | Colin D | It was addressed in the same episode. The risk is that if a service call is needed there is the chance for Walt to be recognized by the technician. Also there is no guarantee Walt won't do something foolish like try to communicate with his family if he is given access to the internet. | |
