I know the suffering of dial-up (dirty phone lines in rural areas) or other means (e.g. GRPS) - it is awful.
Isn't there an EDGE or 3G network available? Maybe something like CDMA2000?

There are also independent service providers (regional providers).
I have a cell modem, but it's just getting dial-up speed. No new towers yet.
I keep looking into other internet options. Verizon has a web page where you can see if you can get DSL. But until they get around to upgrading the local switch, high-speed ain't happening.
There was also a rumor that some provider was putting in WiMax, but that didn't cover where I am.
I'm telling you guys, living in the boonies really sucks. I love the area, but internet service is probably as critical as power service for somebody in technology.
As a side note, I was actually was one of first ones in my area to get a T-1 several years ago. I had to rent the line. I think at first it was running around $2K per month.
