If your that far from those areas your best bet may be wireless. I know Digiweb have a service up around there. Check out their site and see if your covered.

If its just gaming you want then ur best bet wud be isdn, if its downloading and the odd game here and there go for the wireless.

Some time ago I read about a new kind of dsl that can go up to 20km from the exchange, i havent heard about it since but whenever if ever that happens it wud solve everyones problems.

Wireless tends to give fairly good speeds. The pings arent too bad either. Mostly around the same I get on my modem at night with is around 130
