I did that with a neighbor, kinda. Order a wireless microwave setup(DSL
like speed without phone lines http://www.joink.com ) from a local and
they we're charging me $70 a month for all my comps. So I alleviated the
cost by charging my neighbors $25/month, as long as the provided a 50' CAT5
to run between us and let them share my connection. Never knew they were
using it unless I looked at the hubs.

no such luck. otherwise my parents wouldn't be stuck on dialup, and
neither would my friend Keith - he's in a more frustrating and easily
fixed situation though: no cable modem service, but DSL stops a block
away. Y hullo thar frendly neh-bor, wireless link much to-day?
Of course he just bitches about it instead =)
At home our cableco (US Cable unless they've changed their name again)
has had us 6 months out for cablemodem service for 3 years now, and 1
year out a year before that. At this point I'll be surprised to see it
ever happen.
