im not sure how far you are from everything but you could use some yagi wifi antennas perhaps even as repeaters. if you set them up properly, you could go 5 miles on two repeater hops. ^_^
a yagi antenna is a directional antenna. this is what the whole pringles can stuff was about.
google search for yagi antennas
online store with cheap yagi antennas
i dont know how you could manage to set this all up... but perhaps you could find someone in town that is willing to split a bill or something. i dont know, just a thought.
just wondering... how far from the closest broadband connection? if you do the satellite sollution, you could get a prefetching/spidering program or addon for you browser or something. i dont know if they exist though :P
