When you click to view a web page, or when you click to retrieve emails, your request goes straight through to the Server, as normal. The REPLY from the server is routed through a Proxy Server that compresses the data. For instance, if you visit a web page that is 80k, then the 40k of text is compressed down to 8k, and the graphics on the page (the other 40k) is compressed down to 20k. Your modem needs to retrieve only 28k of data; not the original 80k. This makes web pages appear between 3 to 5 times faster.
This only works well on newer faster Pentium-4 or Pentium-5 computers that can read the compressed data and display it on the screen quickly. If you're using an older Pentium-3 computer, it will still work - but not as fast as if your computer is a P-4 or P-5. The slowness is not in the modem, but rather in the speed that it takes the computer to render the display.
MegaSpeed may or may not work well if you're logging into your Office Network from home - depending on the type of data that needs to be compressed. Try it and see if it works in your situation. If not, then goto 112k from 1USA above.

1USA can sign you up for DSL in most areas.
The bandwidth is approx 256k receive and 40k transmit.
If Verizon owns the "last mile" into your building, then you need to have them as your "local" phone company and receive your phone bills from them. The company that owns the "last mile" is classified as the LEC - Local Exchange Carrier or ILEC - Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier.
If you chose another company for your "local" phone service, then call them for DSL.
Companies like MCI offer "local service" but their service is via their "virtual network" -- classified as CLEC which means Competitive Local Exchange Carrier.
DSL uses the copper wire coming into your building. 1USA is your Tech Support provider on every question except questions about the connection. If you experience problems keeping a connection, you will need to call Verizon.
If you are in an area serviced, 1USA can sign you up for Comcast Cablemodem service.

This is where you buy a 1USA Satellite Dish and put it on the roof, or some other location where you have a clear shot to the SatMex5 satellite located in the SSW sky, about 30 degrees up from the horizon. If you have trees or buildings in the south-southwest side of your location, then you do not have a clear shot to the satellite.
You will need a Compass to determine the true direction. Once you feel it may work, request a LookAngle calculation. If you think it will work, then order the Satellite Dish Kit.
