Lucky b@stard.
I'm on satellite at home. I forget the specs, but I think it's 1 or 1.5 M down for $69.99/mo. Yeah, no other options here - no DSL, no cable (too far off the road).

Nick, I can't believe you can't get Qwest DSL where you live, you know where I live out in the boonies and I get their 1.5 mbps package.

I have Verizon DSL 3mb/768k service. I pay $29.99/month. I'm pretty happy with it*. It's been very reliable & I get 95%+ of the advertised speeds 24x7x365.
Before that, when I still had cable, I had a cable modem through our local cable company (Mediacom). It certainly had blazing download speeds but I used to have a lot of congestion issues during peak demand times (5-9pm). I also had to reboot the cable modem about once a week. That was many years ago though. *I will offer one tidbit of advice to anyone having problems with Verizon DSL. Contact their support people through the "Verizon Direct" forum over on dslreports.com. This is a service where Verizon has special reps that offer one-on-one help in a forum format that bypasses the call-center drones. In short, you get help from real problem-solvers. They can make things happen. I once had a connectivity problem and couldn't get much help from the 800 number script-readers. I found that forum out of desperation. The experience there was nothing short of amazing. Questions answered, action taken, problem solved. I had Verizon Tech support calling me to make sure that the problem was solved. ![]()

Only 875 kb down and 450 kb up for $39.95 a month. This is a local wireless service. No DSL or cable out here.
