I live in rural Oregon and I have over a half dozen choices

These are broadband suppliers not dial-up? You're very lucky.

Yes, broadband. If you have a phone line and tv cable to your home you already have two choices right there and I’m betting there are multiple providers for either type, plus wireless and satellite. That’s four types and multiple sellers for all of them.

We just dropped our landline and dsl for wireless dsl that is $112 quarterly or $400 if you pay annually. Their transmitter is on top of the local grain elevator so coverage is excellent and it’s as fast as the high speed dsl was. Best part of wireless is being able to rearrange the furniture any time I want and not having to have the desktop PC forced to be where ever the cable is.

With the new BPL (Broadband over Power Lines) technology, there will be even more competition in the future.

I suggest you do a google search for ISP’s for your zipcode and see if there are providers you are just not aware of.
