| I download the occasional 700MB XviD movie.
With a 2MB/sec(16mbps) service, they can get here in a timely manner.
Like 5 minutes.
Allowing for variances, lets say within 10 minutes on a bad day.
Download game demos or full games. Having a 8mbps line or higher means you can play that demo within minutes, not hours.
Saying it is a waste tells us all that you have never used anything with speeds exceeding 6mbps.

Unless you play PC games, some of the patches developers push out can be as small as 10MB or as large as 300MB. |

Hope you have a friend in town with a fast land connection and a CD/DVD burner.

Bloom County | I was a beta tester for America's Army - last install I had to down load was a gig - took 5-6 hours - did it over night. Most installs were at least 350 megs - took about 4 hours. No biggie and files that are 40-50 megs are less than 1 hour. |

no I have not,nor will I ever even if I could.I don't waste my time playing games.I don't need a connection more than 2 or 3 meg.like i said before any more than that is a waste.It sux that they keep pushing more speed where they already have fast connections,and don't worry about their rural customer's that have dialup and that's it.very bad for business because tellcos are loosing more and more voice customer's to voip,as i cancelled my at&t voice service today.They better start worrying about extending their dsl because before long that will be all they have |

Look friend, YOU chose to be rural.
One of the things about being rural is none of the city-esk perks.
Broadband seems to be at or near the top of that list of things you get to forfeit.
Moving to a place out of town and then trying to blame a service provider of being uncaring is... not right.
Common sense dictates that if you are out there, and want DSL or cable, and the providers aren't going to string it up for you - you get to move to a served area.
If you do not want higher speeds, they do offer DSL at 768k or 1.5mbps for kinda cheap.
Once moved in, call AT&T, Verizon, or Embarq.
They will be glad to help you get online. 
Call them again and ask why they aren't serving your house and see what they tell you.
Then, you can come back here and tell us all what they said.
