I’ve had dialup for 8 years and I’m SICK of it.?

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I can’t even play games from when dialup was prominant, such as StarCraft or Counter-Strike. I want to run a small business, but there’s no WAY I’m going to do that from a dialup connection. There are no forms of broadband available to my house – DSL is out because of fiber optic lines, Verizon doesn’t service ISDN lines anymore, and cable is right across the road, yet in the numerous attempts to have them extend service, we have been denied. How can I get a faster connection other than shotgunning modems and paying like $5 per hour for it?
Please note that satellite internet is *NOT* a good alternative. Unless you like a lag time of about 2 full seconds. :)

How can I give internet access to visitors without compromising the security of my LAN?

Nearly every visitor, salesman, consultant, or purchasing agent who visits my small business asks for internet access for their laptop. Is there a way to give them access to my T-1 connection without compromising the security of my LAN? I am currently using a Linksys BEFVP41 router.
