I found a wireless company and called them up. I gave them my address and they said the neighbor's got it. Since I am not in LoS of their tower they have to put more expensive equipment on the house, which means a $400 install. The guy on the phone said I could game with 512kb/256kb ($56/mo), but I am pretty sure I would need the 1000kb/512kb, which is $80/mo. Pretty friggin' expensive. I looked today and can see the big honking dish the neighbors have on their roof. I wish I could just get in with them, run a cable to my house and mooch their connection.

Vanraw, I did call Verizon, two times actually because I'm desperate and gave them my address both times. Denied both times. The second time I tried to get the girl to tell me where the next house was that got DSL, to see if I was even close. She was clueless. Are you saying I should ask a different way to get more/better info?
If I went with an unlimited cell plan and used 3G, is that fast enough? Would that be faster than dial-up? Right now I'm only playing Warhammer Online. No FPSs. Do you really think dial-up/3g could handle it?
