56k and proud, plus I can't afford it because unlike alot of folk I know with fast internet, mummy and daddy don't pay for it. I have to fork out the 17 quid a month for AOL and I'm only 16. Ah well, some folk get it easy...

I have a 56k modem but it only connects at a 28,ooo connection...sucks really cause im lucky if I can pull 2.2KB/s on downloads...
My parents are paying about 25 bucks canadian which I think is a rip off for we get only 20 freakin hours of use!?!?!
We live in the country...hmmmmmm.... any way to get a faster connection for cheaper or the same or a litle more price?

It's mostly in cities I think, but it's also in many small towns(2000-10000 people). How rural are you? Telus probably wouldn't stretch lines out 50km into the middle of nowhere, but you might as well check.
Here, 578kbps broadband. At the uni (weekends) I get 10Mbps

kramy: that's not fair!
anyway, if you live in britain you can blame BT for inflated broadband prices. they refused to modernize the lines before, but now everyone wants broadband they're having to do it, but they don't like to work for a pittance. i heard there's a government inititive to get the whole country ADSLd as we're so behind other european countries when it comes to broadband.
RapidFlash, that is impossible since the limit on a phone line is 56, going over that is agianst the law and causes static on the line even for people around you.
I get 60kbs on a ADSL line.
