Ha, ha! If it makes you feel any better, I was vying for symmetric 10Mbps about 10 years ago but bellsouth backed down on the fiber line run. They ran the conduit and installed a new "green pole" at my driveway and wimped out on the headend costs. At that time I had dual 64k ISDN and a new DSL line was installed instead. I think I got 1M/128k for half the cost of the dual ISDN.<br>
<br>It really does matter what that last mile is. Being "too far out" has it's ups and downs. Yours are slow :-)<br><br>Look at bonding a pair of those lines using the routing features in a linux firewall box.<br>

That's me (10/3M vs 144k symmetric - sheesh!)<br>
