            If you can't find someone willing to do the deal you can put up your own wireless link and make a deal with someone to have a net drop and antenna installed at their location. I have had several friends do this type of thing to bring the net to a remote cabin or even to provide service to an RV park. Just saw a post from one park that went from a crummy DSL link or cable system that was always having issues with staying connected to a direct wireless shot into town and are now getting 90+ on their speed tests and so far no down time on the link.

            Ubiquity http://www.ubnt.com/ offers some really nice gear, others here will know a lot more about what gear is good though.

              Who is your phone company that supplies the DSL connection?

              In my case at one of our spur offices, we have Centurylink (non bonded area).  With them I use a different ISP and actually taught them about MLPPP.  Since then they now sell it (though its not advertised on their web page).

              Might be a good solution for you as well if you have a local ISP that wants to try.

              or

              Do you know any people closer to the cable system node?  As in right near it?  ;D  the aforementioned wireless may be your best solution.  If this type of work is something you need to hire out you might contact a local two-way radio dealer in your area and see if they can take on the job.
