Can we assume that DSL is unavailable at your location?  I recently 
evaluated Comcast, Verizon, and Clearwire for my parents in Hillsboro. 
  Given the need/desire for a POTS land line, adding DSL from Verizon 
was the least expensive option.  For a little more money DSL is 
available from local ISPs.  A local ISP will certainly be more 
responsive when it comes to things like Usenet.  They are also less 
likely to arbitrarily block ports, etc.
