I'm on dialup-connect at 26.4 kbps, and I have the same 'problem'.  This 
area won't get water, sewer, cable, DSL, or any other modern 'amenity' 
in my lifetime.  Cell phones don't work here in the hollows and ridges, 
and I am the only one of my two nearest neighbors that has access to the 
southern sky for satellite connections.  It's expensive.  As much as I 
hate dialup and not being able to really read as much online as I would 
like, I love living in the boonies.  I'm sure you agree.
