The only option I have of anything faster than a 56k is using both of my phone lines and a "shotgun modem" to double the speed, no DSL out here way out away from any town, could get the Starband from Dish but its around $100 a month, I hear its 10 times faster than DSL, not good for gaming cause of the uplink delay, its a pure satellite feed.
In retrospect I wish I had it two weeks ago, its on my buy list right now.

I tried shotgun modems a few years back. Earthlink sent me a cease and desist letter a month later. :(

No, starband is 500kbps downstram 100kbps upstream. DSL varies, but mine is 1.5mbps down 128kbps up.
