Updates can take a _long_ time to download. 
CD images take even longer. 
Neither are nice over phone lines. 
Email _is_ feasible over phone lines. 

_A_few_ phone service/cable TV providers will offer cheap 
but not super fast internet service as part of a bundle of 
phone/cableTV/internet service. 

Other than that, drag your computer with a wireless card over to 
Stauf's or Cup 'o Joe and fill up your bucket of bits for the 
price of a cup of coffee. Or fill up your bucket of bits at a 
friend's house for the price of a pizza. 

UA Library has free wireless internet also. 

Or find an ISP that allows sharing, 
and use wireless to share a connection with a neighbor.
