I just did this one, 7742 down and 1192 up with comcast cable and the 
server 50 miles away

When we left Minnesota Aug 03, we were 20 plus miles from Bemidji, 3 
miles from the tar road, 14 miles from the nearest milk-beer-etc and 
no neighbors on our part of the township road. We did have fiber 
optic cable at our phone box with high speed internet and/or cable 
tv. The Paul Bunyan Telephone co-op was working at getting the fiber 
optic everywhere.
Have hope folks in the boonies, it can happen.
