I have famine as you put it. Cable range from 4.0 to 16.0 Mbps download speed (maximum upload speed from 384Kbps to 768Kbps respectively). DSL Downstream Speed: Up to 6.0 Mbps and Upstream Speed: Up to 768 Kbps. I have both. The upload speed sucks the most I uploaded the 10 ISOs of the DefCon 15 synchronized DVD-Roms to Usenet. It took me a week 7-10 hours per ISO. :( You know that I am extremely jelleous at you right now, don't you? I am obviously not only living in a natural desert, but also in a broadband desert..

And yes, you either have feast or famine with this; your central office has to be available for this, AND, as a bonus, Verizon has to have authorization to provide cable TV to their customers.

FiOS by Verizon is not available in my area...I am stuck with cable: 8 MB down and lousy 768 KB upload. DSL is also not better.
