God hell freekin DAMN!

Alright, my computer at home is old and clunky, but she still gets the job done, and I respect her for that. However, I have an unbelieveable level of trouble staying connected to the god damn internet. In an hour an a halflast night I got disconnected three times. I've bitched at my server, I've bitched at our line installer- But the problem, it seems, is a little of both. You see, I discovered that all the phone lines in the area are piggybacked on each other. So, whenever someone else gets a phone call, I get kicked off the internet.
Can you see the dillema?
So I have a solution- If I drop my modem connection down to 28k rather then 56k, I should be able to stay on.
The problem? What the hell am I gonna be able to do on a freekin 28k connection? I have enough trouble with timeouts, And I only learnt when I upgraded from a 30-odd to a 56 that things didn't have to keep timing out on me. Now I have to go back to something below that? My Site host won't even load up on that! Dam my third rate connection!
