Well if you had been more specific as to where you were I could easily tell you your options.
Do you have cable? If so check their website to see if they offer Internet broadband access.
Check with your phone company's web site to see if they offer DSL service of some kind in your area. If you have verizon they may also offer FIOS fiber (if you are real lucky that is).
If that fails then look into what cellular service you have and see if they offer a broadband package. Verizon and AT&T I know offer PCMCIA cards for laptops (but they will work with desktops as well) that have broadband connectivity.
If ALL of those fail and you still want something faster you can look into using two modems (or one multiplexed modem) over two phone lines. I did this years ago with my laptop when I traveled on the road but have not done it in years.

probably not if you live in the U$A we are very much lagging in high speed connections due to our providers have no incentive to do better, I feel for you, I live in a big city and am only able to get very very limited broadband and its not much faster than dial up. you might get satelite but its expensive and again not too fast.
our country is so far behind in broadband technology and the sad thing is there is no reason for it except companies like AT$T comca$t and veri$on dont have any competition therefore no incentive.

Dial up is the best for home users. Try dial up connection for that otherwise if u need high speed internet connection then use DSL connection.

You need to find your local broadband provider, eg; Verizon, Time Warner, Cablevision, etc. I don't know exactly what's local to you, you haven't said what state your in, I'd call and ask your local cable TV provider I would bet they have a solution for you.

Satellite, but it is expensive.
