but I think you're going to have to switch to whatever is available in your area... DSL, or whatever is there. Once AOL dialup is gone, I think that's the end of it. Ask around to see what your neighbors have. Or if you have a satellite dish, I think a lot of them also offer internet access, but in my experience it's less reliable, slower, and stops working every time a cloud rolls by.

I'm sure others here can be more help.
