I live in the sticks...it just (two months ago) became available out here. At $50 a month, plus a $200 cable modem purchase...it'll have to wait a while.
DSL is still a pipe-dream (no pun intended)...any of the state's DSL carriers aren't in my area yet.

I am in the sticks too... Mine is $45 I think... and I used the cable modem provided by the cable company for free. You may not have to buy a modem.
I know that can barely live without it now that I have it. (Especially for online gaming) but also for downloads of stuff and just even visiting FR threads with a lot of pictures. I still carry my old dial-up account, but my lines are so bad I get about a 22K connection... It is an emergency measure only!
