In my rural area Verizon stopped adding new DSLAM capacity shortly after rolling out service, and refuses to add more despite a deep waiting list of new customers. Instead, they are focusing on adding FiOS to areas which are already well-serviced by both DSL and cable, and trying to stop the county government from running it's own fiber.

So, I pay $60 a month for a Sprint 3G connection thats run at about 1mbps for my home network.
