I am on line now at 26.4 occassionally we might get 28k (a lucky
break and not often) - our service is more reliable than some I have
compared notes with in similar rural areas of the US but fast it is not -
the cure to this is to download then play but download times equally slow -
I think this is a situation where you might have to forget about a few of
us. If we want to go fast we have to go play with sattellites - its real
good but pricey. Incidentally this is not much of a problem with normal
stuff of the list - text only messages however long are not that slow.
