You are really ignorant of what's possible on the internet these days. I pay $30/month for DSL service that gives me 3 Mbps down and 768kbps up. You can do REALLY good videoconferencing on a link like this. I happen to be a programmer who writes videoconferencing software. And I videoconference everyday from work to my kids at home, or to my wife at her office (or even 3 or 4-way videoconferencing in this environment). We get 352x288 resolution, and full 30 frame-per-second video. Trust me. There are lots of places where the internet is up to this now. I also conference cross-country with the same good results.
