Can you help me find a broadband internet service provider?

I was going to use Sprint Broadband Direct (wireless), but they couldn’t get a signal in my area because of too many trees. :-(

My goal is to have a higher-speed connection than dial-up, and then I will use a router in the house, so more than one person can be on the web at the same time. I would also like to have something that does NOT interfere with incoming phone calls. I have a dish for my TV, so there is no option to use a cable TV company.

Any suggestions of what company has a good plan, without having to take out a loan to pay for it?
AT&T does not have service in our area for DSL.
I need something for the state of IL.
Well, I found out that Verizon and AT&T don’t have service for high-speed or DSL in my area.

I think we need to go with Comcast. We have a dish right now, but might switch back to cable to get the cheaper rate for cable and internet service.

Thanks everybody for your help! I’ll let you guys/girls choose the best answer and get the points.

Cant get cable, DSL, even satellite! Stuck with dialup…any alternatives?

Just moved to a place where no Cable, DSL, or ISDN is available. Had a HughesNet satellite internet rep come out today who told us satallite is unavailable because our trees block the signal. The trees blocking the signal are illegal to cut down in our state and will result in jail time. Stuck with horrid dial up. Is there ANY faster alternative??
