Congrats JacKDynne!
Once you go broadband, you can never turn back. I was on the same boat as you for such a long time. All the neighboring towns were getting cable (DSL wasn't an option since my location was too far from the C/O) that I was getting frustrated... Then, I remember like it was yesterday, the day before Thanksgiving in 2003, it became available where I live. I have never jumped into my car so fast and rushed on over to order it!
Anyways, congrats again and enjoy!
