Internet service



We currently have Speakeasy, which has excellent reliability.
Unfortunately, 1500/368 isn't exactly cutting edge speed any more, and
ever since Best Buy bought them they seem much less interested in
providing home service.

We're not wired for cable, and when we looked into getting service, it
turned out that it would be rather expensive; they'd have to do a fair
bit of work since the closest cable run is a few hundred feet away
across an intersection.

I'd like to run at least an ssh (for remote login) and anon ftp server
(for occasional low volume use).  I certainly want faster speeds,
particularly uplink (to upload photos, primarily -- uploading 700 MB
of photos is dreadfully slow and I just upgraded from a 20D to a 7D).

Any suggestions?
