I think DSL is Avaiable as long as your location is in DSL range. You will have to call your local Telephone Co. and they can test and tell you over the phone if you are. DSL is your only other option that will give you high speed access like your cable for about the same price. You could check into the Satilite stuff too. I think its a little more spendy. I would go with a local ISP, not MSN AOL Earth Link Compuserve and so on. I work for an ISP and we do service Qwest DSL in the Portland area. So you should first call Qwest and see if you are in range. Your other option is just to go back to Dial up access. After being used to the speed it may take a bit to get used too again but its usually pretty reliable if your not using one of the big ISP's mentioned above. Hope that helps,
