Cable vs. DSL

Currently I have 1 meg/s dsl that is provided by a 3rd party internet provider.My connection is always laggy and sometimes doesn't work at certain times of the day.I also ping about 150 ms to anywhere is the United States. On top of that I pay 75 a month. I reside in Alabama and I am right out of my city limit. The only alternative to my sucky dsl is dial-up,Wildblue, and possibly Charter Cable. I'm not going to get dial-up and I've heard that wildblue has quite a bit of latency(like I would ping 200 to a Chi server). The only problem with Charter is that I am about 2500 feet away from the nearest line. I got a servicabilty test and they found me not to be cost effective of course...I would be willing to pay almost whatever I had to to get the line to my house, but I'm not sure exactly what I would have to do. I would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks.
Questions i have include: what kind of cable does Charter use?.I think it's RG-6 but i am not sure what kind

The telephone poles lead to my house but I am not sure who owns them and if Charter agrees what would they have to do..

I would like to supply a third option. Both sprint and vorizon have wireless internet available at dsl speeds I thinks it's called EVDO rev A or something. I think the service is like $60 a month for unlimited but they might nail you for a contract. The adapter looks like it's only for one computer so you might have to learn a bit to bridge to other comps too. I think they have coverage maps so you can first take a look it it's even available.
For the record 150 ms is not that bad of a ping. A typical home network wireless pings at 23 ms and your prolly playing people all over the US. Even with the fiber line at my college I never got below 80 ms. Back in the dial up days I pinged at 500 ms.

Ok good to hear from someone who uses it. Just curious what kind of speeds do you usually get from EVDO?

Is that EVDO revA I heard that was bit faster.
