I live in a dilema. I love highspeed internet, but highspeed is 17 miles away and will not be here for quite some time or perhaps forever. Verizon said that building a tower would cost around $60,000 and would take forever to see returns on that, because the town I live in is so small (650 people).
Is there a way I can set up my own highspeed network in my house that's both practical (costwise) and easy to set up or have someone install?

Satellite is the way.
If you are in Australia, there is a government grant for satellite if you live in a rural area and cannot get ADSL.
The fee connection is $129 (including the dish and modem).
With Bigpond, you have to sign a 18 months contract.
You get 512Kbs for $68.50 a month.
Shop around. You might find a better deal.

So verify to be certain if the relationship on your itouch has the comparable call because of the fact the relationship on your laptop. If it does there's a probability which you (feels like unknowingly) bought a modem with a outfitted in on the spot router.

You can look at setting up a mesh network in your neighborhood, but that still doesn't give you broadband to the web at large.
