Re: Geez.... said by morbo:have you thought about the dual-modems? supposedly it takes your two phone lines and automagically combines it so you have about double the speed of one modem. i don't have any experience with this, but i always wondered what i would do if i was in your situation. Shotgun modems require two phone lines, and a double-dialup account (if anyone still sells them). If the OP ordered a second phone line, Verizon would install it on a DAML (line splitter), and the effective potential throughput of the line would be halved ... at four times the price!
The best options for this guy are IDSL (doubtful), moving (why not?), EVDO, or as another poster suggested, making friends with someone at the end of the broadband chain and installing a WiFi link. 1700' is very, very achievable. |
