*** This parallels what I experienced 6-7 years ago with Verizon. They couldn't/wouldn't offer DSL to me back then because the existing tariffs dictated they'd have to charge me over $100/month. My son, who lived at home, and really wanted the DSL, found a 3rd party provider who would do it for $90, so he went for it. A couple of years later a different provider offered $75. By the time he moved out 2 1/2 years ago, Verizon was available at $40, which subsequently got as low as $32. But I'm not as rural as you are. But you are also unlikely to see the cost go down much below $40 because of that.
