I hope you didn't lose a message because of the vbtime() thing. I was actually fixing something that time.
There are MANY ways to get broadband where you are.
<strike>Sprint BroadBandDirect is a wafer-thin flat dish that you would point towards LA.</strike> (out of business)
Starband (operated by Echostar) is bidirectional satellite internet.
DirecPC (operated by DirecTV) is also bidirectional satellite internet, or you can use your phone line for the upstream.
You can multiplex 2 phone lines with the v.92 standard.
You could have a PC built to multiplex traffic over 4 or more phone lines.
If you waved a $1,000 bill in front of the phone company, they'd wire you up with fractional T1 for a few hundred a month.
