Try 'Naked DSL' from AT&T. I'm paying only $34 a month for access that usually tests downloading at about 2.5Mb/sec and uploads at 410 Kb/sec ( http://www.speedtest.net). I think Naked DSL is also available at about 800 Kb/sec for $18/ month (But then you'd probably not *even* be able to watch full screen HD streaming video).
Oh yeah - using a quantum pre-fetch add-on appliance on the backplane of the golden idol power matrix, your applications can load before you even start the computer. Access is instantaneous, but due to temporal distortions, users of this device have complained of being revisited by puberty and dead relatives. It only costs 35 billion dollars, but since money doesnt actually exist beyond the quantum continuum - you can easily afford it, (but only if you don't wish for it or go on and on trying to gauge opinions of it by bystanders who couldn't possibly care less).
