Any other ISP options besides DSL and cable?

I'm moving back to an old address and I had comcast/earthlink cable internet there and it was pretty good and rather affordable. But I'm wondering if there are any other more reasonable internet options besides comcast cable and some version of DSL. (I'm sad I can't bring Broadstripe cable with me, they were awesome).

your options seem to be dialup or stealing wifi...
FIOS will be better than cable or DSL, but will also be more expensive, and is only available in limited areas so far.
Satellite will have a much higher ping (so won't be good for online gaming) and will likely be more expensive as well.
Mobile/cell internet will probably be slower than whatever cable/DSL options you have (unless it's pretty shitty DSL) and probably more expensive.
Dialup will most likely be cheaper, but will make you want to kill yourself.
That's what I thought. I just wanted to make sure before I laid down my money.
I know you're probably joking, but illegal advice is frowned upon here.
