As was said before, you can&#39;t.

I&#39;m still on dial-up (same as you, we can&#39;t get anything else out here), so DON&#39;T BUY ANY OF THAT CRAP THAT ADVERTISES DIAL-UP SPEED UP&#33; NOTHING WILL WORK, unless maybe you plug your modem into the back wall of your server :D

You non-Australian people out there may not realise, but 1 way satelite costs around &#036;60 - &#036;80 a month, which really isnt too bad if you can use it, but 2 way cable, ended up costing around &#036;300 AUD for the first month (including installation) and then around &#036;170 per month thereafter.

Internet here is extortion, I heard that in Canada, you can get free installation on 2 way cable which then costs around &#036;15 - &#036;30 (AUD) per month for unlimited d/ls, here, it usually costs us more than than for Dial-Up and that&#39;s after you buy your modem, install it or have it installed and find the right plan. If you&#39;re rural enough, you can pretty much forget the internet, if you live 45 minutes from the coast, you may be able to get 1 way satelite or 2 way satelite if you really want to push it, but ADSL, forget it.

Telstra just got sued a while ago for advertising ADSL for rural Australia, then not delivering, probably ate 1/4 a million out of the billion dollar yearly profits, must hurt.

Oh, and ISDN is only available to schools, Telstra executives and maybe other executives of other Internet companies.
