[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2963852, member: 29706"] There are a couple options, the cheapest is to find someone who is able to receive service and get to become friends with them. Make sure they are line of sight to your place and grab a WiFi AP/Bridge devices and create your own link. Give your new friend ten or fifteen bucks a month and go from there. You can easily shoot a connection 1000 feet if you have line of sight between two points. I have talked about it all a few times before in other posts on the forums as well as links to the stuff to do it with. This is basically the same thing that companies like @tLink do with some stuff that costs a little more and is designed to be placed on a large tower or very tall building. I did exactly this while I was living in Lawton for one of the now defunct WISP's there that was bought out by Wichita Online which is now Rise Broadband. If you need help figuring stuff out let me know and I will be happy to help. If you need help setting it up we can work something out that won't leave you feeling like a Mack truck just ran you over.
