I live in a 90 home subdivision in the middle of the national forest, 15 miles and 3100' vertical feet up from the plains. 26.4 is the best we can do with an analog modem. Party lines were common when I moved in 11 years ago.

Thanks to a neighbor with a 65' tower and a business on the plains, we bring a DS3 up the mountain on microwave and distribute it via 802.11 with directional antennas. It works surprisingly well and is pretty much requirement for my employment.
