Our home phone is land based and has very bad 'reception'. It constantly has popping and scratching noises although the phone company has checked and cannot resolve the problem. It also affects our internet connection, as we have it through the phone line also. What other options do I have so that I can resume normal internet use without being disconnected constantly? (I am getting a cell phone to replace the land based one.)

If you're in an area that has cable TV, you can probably get cable internet. It's fast and reliable, and relatively cheap.
If you're outside of the cable area (like me), then satellite internet is an option. I have HughesNet -- it's a two-way satellite internet hookup, one dish both sends and recieves. Speed is good, though latency is high. It costs $50 a month (kind of high), plus the initial cost of the dish and installation. But if you're in the boonies like me, it's the best option for high-speed internet.

Some cellphone companies are now offering cellular ISP using a special PCMIA card that connects to the cellphone signal. I suspect it is cost prohibitive for now. :-(

Cable - about $50 / month
Wi-fi (if available) - $50 / month, unless you can tap into someone else's connection, then it free)
Satellite - about $100 per month

if you don't want a naked DSL line from Verizon, then you have cable...like timewarner, earthling etc. or clearwire wi-fi max fixed, all you need is the modem, put it on the window and go...here is a website.....put in your address and see which provider is in your area!

DSL, cable, or satellite.
Unless you want to spring for a dedicated line (T1, etc)
