How is your cellular reception?  Both Verizon & Sprint offer cards for
PCs that use the cel network for data.

I now get EVDO speed from Sprint - around 700-900Kbps - through my Treo
phone (not a separate card) as a $40 add-on to my phone plan.  It covers
phone & any PC data I choose to use.

live in da sticks,

Cincy Bell originally said spring 06 would have DSL now its Spring 07
earliest, cable is an option if I want to pay the $700+ to ahve it run
from nearest "neighbor" who has it to my house (straight line maybe 1/4
mile, down his drive, down the road, up my drive is closer to 1/2 mile)

Other option is satellite (which is not much better than dialup esp on
rainy/snowy days) but up front cost for that is also around $500.

In case you haven't yet BTDT, I have a warning:  Don't ever, *EVER*

to go back to dial-up if you get broadband at home.  I set up my
parent's
PC
and they have dial-up; OMG, pain, THE PAIN!!  I might give up my 
beer before I give up broadband.  I know, I know, hopefully I never

have to make
that
choice, but...
