[iPad] New iPad Question

 

I have a new iPad.  Only 56k dial-up is available in the area where I live - no DSL.  There is an AT&T tower nearby and friends with AT&T phone service report good connections. 
 
It took over 6 hours to download the iTunes software, then another hour to sign up with iTunes.  Now I have the iPad connected to iTunes and installing a software upgrade.  It says it will take 51 hours to download.  Is there any other way to get the update or should I just use the old verson?   
 
My plan was to get AT&T service for the iPad.  How can I do that? 
 
Nancy
