This is pretty common throughout the country. If you're in a rural enough area you get a choice between dial up and satellite let alone getting a choice of DSL or cable.
Looks like you're not too fasr from Seattle? That's a major population center and one that has a lot of tech companies, ISP's can justify the investment in infrastructure because there is lot of customers to serve.
I heard a commercial today on the radio that Charter was increasing uploads of their 12mb package to 15mb, and tripling the upload speeds. Not sure if this is only in the DFW area or national.
