No need to do a full install, you can yum update from the DVD (I'm assuming you're going to get the ISO somewhere with a fast connection, bring it home, and go from there).
Brings to mind the old quote attributed to Andy Tannenbaum - "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of nine-track tape."
The modern analog might be "Never underestimate the bandwidth of DVDs [CDs] via the postal service." Might be better-faster-cheaper to deal with somebody like http://www.frozentech.com/ or http://www.rustystechstuff.com/ as opposed to downloading via telephone modem.
