I used to use sound.net as my primary ISP, and had decent dialup results when
living in OP and in KCMO.  I still have the account, although I'm now
RoadRunnerized.  I telnet into my shell account (Solaris) at least once every
workday, just to check mail.  They haven't had any large-scale problems that I
have been aware of for a couple of years now, and when they do have trouble,
they are good at getting it fixed fast.  Worth a look, I'd say.
