When I was looking for Internet services for my in-laws to use at their Minnesota lake cabin, I called the chamber of commerce in the closest nearby town to their place and asked them about internet access. They sent me a nice list of local ISPs, that were on average less expensive ($9-$15/mo) than my Earthlink account ($23 with taxes and fees) -- and also offered local access rather than the long-distance number Earthlink offered.
