We have a similar problem here.  One of the local ISPs installed
wireless, and bounces the signal from water tower to water tower.  If we
are in sight of a water tower we can sign-up for broadband.  They had a
learning curve but its been pretty stable for a year now. They pay their
rent to the towns for the use of the water towers by providing broadband
free to the local schools.  Its a win-win for everyone.
