    Nope no hard line out to my house or anyone's house really.
    I didn't want to pay 125.00 per month for satellite internet "rip off" so i went and bought me a Verizon USB modem and external antenna. I plug it into my router out in the garage because i have to get that antenna up on the peak of my roof for the best signal. Then i pipe the wifi from the router inside to my PC. I keep doing the Speed test on the home page here, not too shabby i guess 1300down 650up. But its never the same results twice. my ping in vent is 168, this whole setup is just my hobby for now i guess.

    Nice. I set my friend up with a similar network. Used a altell wireless card and set it up to push a single IP to his router, which distributed it the network (DCHP). He lives out in bum fuck egypt and is getting 2mbs down, 756 up.

    Best part: Alltel was bought by verizon, but his original contract was grand-fathered in, so he doesn't have that shitty 5gb cap they impose for his card. Last month he topped 35GB down thru the network. ^_^

    Does he run a external antenna ? i see many for sale and in-line boosters also. I'm hoping to get this setup very similar to your buddy's

    i have verizon UM175 modem and a magnetic wilson antenna.

    Not that i know of. I think there is a tower right by him, so he hits a pretty good signal without one.

    GL in getting everything set up. Hopefully you find a decent net card w/no limits on it!
