dsl speeds in texas (Score 1)

I have the cheapest dsl I cna get 35.99/month I get a lowest speed of 394kbps and I have had a burst of well over 1.2MBPS I have looked into a more expensive dsl and I can buy one of up to 6 mbps I can not afford that it is well over 380 dollars a month plus I have to lease their router (per contract) and buy a new dsl modem. The problem with speeds in the us is that we are now laying the rest of the fiber back bone. Fiber is almost to my curb, but I am lucky I have a friend who is close enough geographically but the phones in there area have not had upgraded lines.
