If I move to this small town USA I would be only about two block from the local telephone company which operates the DSL service as well as a super fast telephone line connection that the realtor told me about. Here in Raytown I can only get about 28k on my dial up connection. When I used to live in a small town USA near the telephone company I got 56k speed. I'm wondering if dial up connection speeds have gone up over the last year or so. When the realtor mentioned super fast telephone service I was wondering how fast can dial up connections go up to these days.
