Can't get anything where I live

I can't believe that where I live, I can't get the modern conveniences of today. One thing I can't get is cable. Everyone around me gets cable, but I don't! And its just my little stretch of road too. The road next to mine, which is maybe 100 yards away, gets cable. So my family and I had to settle for DirecTV, which isn't a bad thing.

The cable part I don't understand. We also don't get high speed internet, only dial-up. That's understandable. But when you're getting that slow of connections, its hard to do anything. Say I want to play a flash game. While the game loads, I may as well go a bake a cake, that's how much time it takes. But now we're getting DSL connections out at my house, so hopefully I can get my hands on that convenience.
