What is the best cost effective high speed internet service for someone who can’t get DSL or cable on a farm.

I live out in the boondocks and unfortunately cable and DSL internet aren’t available. I have heard about Satellite Internet but have been told it can be very expensive. I’m on somewhat of a tight budget and am looking to switch from my slow dialup which runs at a speed of 28.8 kbps to a faster service so I can enjoy all the net has to offer better.
Is there a good cost effective high speed internet service provider out there or something that you think would work for me?
Hope someone can help. Thank you.

Is Hughes Net a good internet choice for me?

I’ve been forced with dialup for 5 years. There is no DSL or cable ISP’s where I live, so I’ve been with my local ISP for years and now NetZero, both horrible. I got a flier from Hughes Net a few months ago, but I didn’t go with it because supposedly Verizon was coming here. No such luck and it’s not coming soon, so I’m reconsidering Hughes Net, or any satellite provider, assuming they’re good.

So as I ask, is Hughes Net good for internet, for DSL speeds? I really just want to download things in seconds/minutes rather than hours, watch videos, and upload work in peace. I’ve heard mixed things about this ISP, but at this point, I really need fast internet and am willing to pay for Hughes if gets me a good, reliable connection.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks alot in advance.

revised ??satellite internet.?

I am unable to get DSL or cable or broadband other than satellite the ONLY service available to me is dialup, that is why I am researching the difference.

How to Speed Up Your Dial-Up Modem Connection?

Does “Dialup Acceleration” really work and is there a good free one out there? I have a friend that has dial up and it is fast but she would like to make it a bit faster. She doesn’t have the DSL or Cable option as they do not serve her area. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
