1. I'd be 56k has been the standard for quite a while now and unless the
telecom tarriffs change that ain't going to increase any time soon.

We've been told for years that our phone lines simply will not handle
any modem speed greater than 28.8. We've tried and found that at 56K,
the modem kept dropping us off line, causing us to have to reconnect
frequently. Not just annoying, it destroyed any ability to search on
the net.

My wife and I are too cheap to order a dish for computer connections
and cable may not make it out to our neck of the woods before I die,
and that's expensive too.

All other phoneline high speed options just aren't here yet because of
the demagraphics... few customers out in the woods.
