I live in the burs of Des Moines, Iowa. No mountains here to block
reception of anything. Qwest is less than 3 miles from here. But they
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.

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.

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...
