Application access using TS and Virtual Private Server

Currently my VB app runs on the office W2003 server and is accessed by users
via Terminal Services (TS) over a LAN. All works well.

We are expanding and so I want to serve up the app. to multiple offices
using TS.

OK so I can use the existing setup and have remote users use Remote Desktop
but the UPLOAD speed from my server to the internet is 384K max and is too
slow. Faster upload costs big bucks in Australia. So I toyed with VPS and
have set up an account but even doing admin work tells me it is way too slow.

So how do companies serve out their apps to remote offices using TS and have
near(ish) LAN speeds for the users?

I am new to WANs so ANY basic advice would be welcome.

There is no magic bullet solution to that. If you want a fast WAN you ned
a fat pipe, which costs a fat amount of dollars.

TS is usually the best option. That way at least the client and server
parts of the app are running on the LAN. Only the KVM data is going over the
WAN link.

Thank you but what is 'KVM data'?
With TS only the image goes outside the Server, is that what KVM is?
