yeah, the fastest internet (dsl) offered here (about 30 miles outside a medium sized city) is 3 mbps :(  And we were paying over $80/month for it.  We recently switched to getting a couple hot spots from our cell phone provider.. paying about the same as before but 7x faster speeds, only thing that sucks is the data limits.. but at least we can stream stuff now! But I wouldn't trade living here for the fastest internet in the world.  We have over 100 acres and only see our neighbors if we choose to!  Only noises are wildlife.  We are only tied into the grid for power and we are hoping to get 100% off the grid in the next few years.
