True. I do have slower DSL. Cable is available, but I have noticed that
, with videophone users who have cable, the picture on the video phone
is not as good. So will be patient for the higher DSL.

I live in the burs of Des Moines, Iowa. No mountains here to block

still will not upgrade to the higher 1.5 DSL and seem they do not
have the intention of doing so in the near future. But in Des Moines,
where it is all sprawled out thy have the higher 1.5 DSL. Go figure?
But cable is not an option right now so I am hanging in there and
maybe, just maybe they will upgrade eventually.

The downside of busting up Ma Bell in the 70s/80s?
Businesses are more concerned about bottom line and less about civic
duty these days. At least you can get cable, right? And slower DSL?

I'm 5 miles outside of town, so affordable broadband is only a
dream for me, and probably will remain so for the foreseeable
future. I keep praying for IP over powerlines to finally become a
reality, but I'm not holding my breath.

their broadband service)
Yup, the blight of living in country charm. We're 1500' from
Comcast and 2500' from optical Verizon cable (Not today honey, you
have a modem ;). Clearwire is moving to within 35 miles of here
(Bellingham WA) but our cell phone reception here is marginal at
best (damn beautiful mountains!). I'm on the verge of bending over
for satellite but the thought of $700 up front and $60-70 a month,
plus the lag time up to the satellite and back, and poor upload
speeds, has given me pause...
