I share your pain. I used to have dial-up that went at 21K or 25K if I was lucky. I can't get DSL in
the boonies. Eighteen Months ago I switched to DirecWay. ($99 per month.) It has served me well.
Coming out almost any day now is WildBlue. It is $50 per month, with, I think, a $299 installation fee.
If you are interested, check it out at www.wildblue.com. Our REC, with whom I have DirecWay, is supposed
to transfer us over to WildBlue for free six months ago. :(
It is an expensive luxury, but I really like it. (WildBlue and DirecWay both come into your house via
satellite, similar to Directv.)

My ISP has compatible modems on all his connections. I suspect the
problem is the telephone lines and there isn't much I can do about
that. I'm a rural customer and the phone company (Verizon) isn't much
interested in providing anything by the bare minimum level of service,
so I guess I'm stuck with a low speed dialup connection.
Thank you all for your replies.
