Have you considered satellite service?
I live 30 miles from Indianapolis and there still no high speed internet access in my area! There is no Cable or DSL available. Not that I would want to, but I can't even subscribe to AOL because there is no local access number. Dial up is still the only option here. I am envious of those who have high speed but for many of us dial up is still the only option, especially in rural areas.
