You may not have done your research thoroughly enough, because you do have options. Many people apparently labor 
under the misapprehension that broadband can only be had from a telephone or cable company, when in fact WISPs are a 
better choice. Try, for example, Etheric Networks (http://www.etheric.net/), a WISP which covers your area.
