Have not found a satisfactory satellite or line of sight wireless provider in my area.
My nearest neighbor(between 250-300 ft) has AT&T DSL. Their wireless network sometimes shows on my laptop's list of wireless connections.
My question for you knowledgeable and experienced internet technicians is: What equipment either wired or wireless is available at a reasonable cost that would allow me to tie into their system and receive reliable internet access from 300 feet distance?
Several years ago I read on this forum that Ken Burton was supplying internet service at GMC rallies. Will that technology work for my application?
Thanks for your input.

Hi Gene
https://www.ubnt.com/airmax/nanostationm/
Check with Ubiquity network, they have a good selection of point-to-point systems.
Check the locoM2 unit on the above page, it is good for 5KM, it is $53.80 on Amazon (that's per end).
http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-NanoStation-locoM2-2-4GHz-Outdoor/dp/B004EGI3CI/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1451171682&sr=1-1&keyword
s=locom2
Ubiquity has many other radios, some are faster, some have greater range.
Good luck

I second Dave's comments about Ubiquity gear. Good and cost effective.
I don't understand why your neighbor 300 feet away has DSL and you don't.
If your drop is bad, the utility should replace that and you'll have service.

I've used the Ubiquity products to supply net access to several places in Atlanta from our studios several blocks away with good results. Cheap and rock solid. Check 'em out.

Gene,
300'. If your neighbor is ok with you sharing the connection. Just run a car5e wire. Then hook what they call a wireless AP up on the end in your home.
Connect your devices in your home to your ap. And he can connect to his normal wire.
You can easily go 900' with a cat5e
Maybe there is a road or something to cross? But i personally would run a cable, it will be so much more trouble free.
Pm me if you need the right cAble to withstand outdoors.

Are you saying your neighbor (who lives less than 300 feet away) can purchase AT&T DSL, but you cannot? I know that is possible, but just wondering why not just go that route?

300 feet should be easy to do.
There are a number of solutions if you have a clear line of sight between the two locations.
What devices do you wish to support at your location?
What type of network connections (Ethernet or wireless) do those devices have?
I assume that you have the password for the neighbor's wireless access point.

I think the phone co's are trying to put copper in their past. I have no DSL available in a newer house and neighbors about 300' away in older home do.

Hello,
Between my house and my small poll barn wood shop I use power line either net adapters as the wifi won't quite reach. These ones to be exact (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AWRUICG/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_uOeGwb04BKD4T) and they work great. The distance I guess is about 150 feet or so. My understanding is that if you and your neighbors house are on the same phase that they should work between houses. No guarantees, but they are only $37.

The two houses must be on the same pole pig. If they are, these work well.

Paul, Dolph,
Here's a quote from my first post on this topic. Lots of info on the web about this issue. AT&T and Verizon will not continue to provide land line DSL service, with un-metered data in low population areas. They are only offering cell tower wireless service with data limits to new or renewal customers.Less maintenance, higher priced metered data = more profit for the ISP.
"I have tried everything you suggested. Your idea makes sense and I've argued that with AT&T for months. Their policy (and Verizon's as well) is to force new wireless technology, more expensive with limited data, on the rural areas. Much less expensive for them to maintain.
We are near the end of the phone line; only a couple of other homes downstream from us. They still have DSL service. We were the first to sign up for the service when AT&T installed service in this area -only 10 years ago. If service is terminated they absolutely, positively will not reinstate it. They offer wireless service that works off the cell towers instead. Not as good and more expensive for the customer but more profitable with less maint for the provider. Welcome to the new American business model. The customer doesn't matter."
Chris,
I am currently using a Verizon Jet pack. Cell service is weak in this area so the wireless internet is slow,spotty, and extremely expensive. We have a 40 gig monthly data plan. It just renewed on the 23rd as of now we are 7.12 gigs into new monthly allocation. Watch a couple of netflix movies and you're done for the month.

RC,
You understand the problem. I need an alternative.
Thanks to all for your input.
With this info I will find something that works. Have not approached the neighbor yet. Wanted a solution before presenting the problem. We have a good relation ship and I'll be glad to pay his bill if I can bootleg the service.
Johnny, I assume a "pole pig" is a transformer. We are on separate transformers so I think that eliminates the plug and play socket mounted type transmitter.
I can run an ethernet cable between the houses or use the Ubiquity devices that several have suggested. I'll compare costs and installation issues and go from there.
Thanks for the help.
