The best speed I can get from the house is 19.2 kbps.

The best speed I can get from the store is 28.8 kbps.

People keep sending me huge files, and my ISP's mail server times out after 30 minutes of connection.

Do the math.

Now factor in network delay. I've been online from the store, and have managed to receive 1,434,382 bytes in just under 30 minutes.

Farblegarg.

I'm in much the same position, thanks to Verizon not being interested in providing broadband to this limited area. A friend who had broadband and then moved to an area without it got Direct PC. It still requires a dial-up but it gives much better downloading throughput.
