Connection Options Other Than ADSL

Hi Folks, and thanks in advance for any assistance you cangive me.

I'm afraid I'm not too technical, so please bear with me if this is a really simple question.

I have just moved house and am 13km from our telephone exchange and BT have just told me that I can't get broadband because of the distance. :shrug: , so its back to good ole dial up just so I can at least get my emails.

The dial-up is connecting at about 32K and is driving me nuts! :mad: After being used to broadband at my old address it is a nightmare. I do quite a lot of uploading as well as downloading so the slow speeds just aren't suitable. As I work through the day, I am using it at peak times so the sluggish connection goes to an almost standstill.:hrmph:

Can anyone advise what other solutions are out there (and affordable). I called BT regarding ISDN, but I think i went through to the wrong department as the guy was really unhelpful and didn't seem to know what I was asking about. Also what about internet through satellite? Is it available yet? What providers are recommended?

Thanks for any help you can give, I can't cope at this speed for much longer!!! :eek:

I read the same but i think it is still possible to order Home Highway but will ISDN work over 13km?

What ISP

Thanks guys,
BT have said they can install ISDN (Free of charge - I'm amazed) and this will give us 128K guaranteed (Still not great but better than 32k) but they cannot act as our ISP because they cannot give us internet over a bonded connection. Any ideas which ISP's are best for this?
