I live in Virginia  zip code 24179 and cannot get anything other than satellite.  Is there any dial up service that allows a router for other computers and does not tie up the phone line?  Or any other suggestions for rural areas that need fast connection for bidding on ebay and is not as expensive as satellite?

Have you checked out EVDO? Verizon and Sprint have it. It works on cell phone waves. Ad there are ways notto tie up the phone lines. Like a second line into the house, or they have items you can put on for the internet to interupt for calls.

For dial-up providers I would check out www.isp.com or www.neandertech.com . Basically it all boils down to who has the best servers in your area.

if you live in the US (not Alaska or Hawaii) you can most likely get WildBlue. They're cheapest package is 512kbps down/128kbps up and is i think $50 a month. Check into that...
As for dial-up, go with NetZero, they have 3G for $15 a month and its pretty quick. if you are getting such slow speeds you may have Pulse phone-lines in your house instead of Touch-Tone.

Try localnet.com...We used to use them way back and they were good. And right now they are running a special $99 for a whole year.
