Maybe you can get wireless. It's available in my area, has excellent ping, but costs about four times as much as 1.5 Mbit cable.

you could multilink dialup ... or go with ISDN ... sure its just as expensive as cable ... but fast enough at least to cruise the web .. and play online games without TOO much lag.

Boy, is that a slap in the face. How can you possibly need broadband to browse the internet? It's a little slower, but you know, the pages still look the same ;)
