[SLUG] In a communication hole.

I haven't written in a while but I still read the posts, sometimes with a
smile. I have moved to SC and now have a home in the middle of the woods.
My problem is that my house sits on the north slope of a hill with only
dial up internet.

I cannot see anyone else or even a communication tower for that matter.
Does anyone have any 'Creative' ideas on how I can get high speed internet.
The cable companies will not pull a cable the 1/4 mile to our house in the
woods and DSL is not available here.

I can get satellite via Earthlink but that has a high price tag. $800 for a
separate dish and $ 80.00 a month for connection.

Someone suggested putting up a tower between me and my nearest neighbor can
then put up a tower there and 'grab' the signal from them via wireless
communication. Sounds complicated and expensive to me but I am getting
desparate for high speed access.
