Please say a prayer for your rural friends who are trying to survive on DSL: http://www.speedtest.net/result/684003092.png

Edit: Forgot to tell you "the downside": it's $65/mo :/ PS: Sure there is "an alternative": ~satellite~

Do you have 3G access there? I was able to pull down 3MB/s over my mobile phone. That's a possible solution.
Thanks for asking. ...however, no: even our basic cell service often forces into roaming mode here. —21st Century pioneer
24Mb/s over 3G (or even 3.5G)? Impossible. Perhaps you meant 3Mb/s? That's doable, but the latency and reliability is terrible compared to DSL IMO.
Yeah, sorry.
