Visit http://www.dslextreme.com and ask them if they have a solution that will work for your problem. I know they have very really reasonable rates, and claim they can supply a DSL connection to anyone! :))

Our church (can't get DSL, and too costly to bring cable to the curb) has Directway.  It's worked, but just very slow.  We also had to spend a lot of money on the equipment.  I know there is another company now offering satellite ISP.  The link will give you the pricing for equipment, installation, and monthly service fee:\n\nhttp://www.wildblue.com/forYourHome/index.jsp

Im with Telewest. This is on cable rather than ADSL, i would always opt for cable as you can get huge bandwidths when no one else in your area is using the line and they garuntee your minimum bandwidth is what you pay for. It is generally more reliable for speed than ADSL i have found.

Cable is MUCH faster than DSL in every situation. The only drawback is price, but then you get what you pay for. If you need VERY fast reliable internet, and are willing to pay for it, you have to go with cable. Also, DSL is still not offered everywhere. If you're not close enough to a hub, which I wasn't in a residential LA suburb 3 years ago, you can't even get it...

Netgear makes a great router.  \n\nI always recommend going wired whenever you can.  Speed and reliability are sacrificed for convenience when you go wireless.  But going wireless would work.  And you're going to be slowed down to the speed of your DSL connection anyway.

DSL should do the trick

It depends on what you want to use your connection for. My cousin loves playing Halo2 online and he uses verizon DSL. It seems to work better for the game stuff. Comcast highspeed is pretty good too though, just maybe not for gaming. I think they both run for upwards of 30 bucks. But you can go to their websites for details.

Check out:\n\nhttp://dsl.metrot1.com\n\nIt checks availability for DSL, Cable, and Satellite.  It will then allow you to compare them side by side, see any specials, and sign-up online.  They are even offering a $50 additional mail-in rebate on top of specials for signing up online.

HOLY HELL!!! WHAT ISP DO YOU HAVE?!!!  I pay $40 / month for my service through Cox and I download and upload more than that on a daily basis what with playing online games and testing freeware and shareware!!.  I'll measure my upload and download speeds for you right now - and this isn't even the fastest service available through my ISP.\n\nDownload Speed - 5065Kb/sec  (3354kilobytes in under 5.3 seconds)\n\nUpload Speed - 1290Kb/ sec\n\nSeriously consider changing ISPs, because yours is a ripoff.

Cancel it and get a cable modem.  Just think about it, DSL is sending data through an old school telephone wire.  Cable modem is sending data through the much newer cable lines, and thus, much faster and much more reliably.  Do whats right, make the switch!

I agree, broadband is much better than DSL and basically the same price.  The reason DSL is slow and fast different days is because it depends on how many ither people are on that same DSL line in your area.
