I live in a neighborhood surrounded on all sides by Comcast. The Comcast hardline goes right by the entrance. They could pick up about 50 customers by stringing up 2500ft of cable, but they don't. Luckily there is a very good WISP in the area that I currently have a 120mb/s connection from, but they do not like nor want do residential service. I was able to get my connection because of my relationship with the owners, but the rest of my neighborhood is not so lucky. For areas such as dad's friend, check out the Connect America Fund[1] -- there are grants and funds available (after sufficient hoop-jumping of course) for lots of currently underserved areas. Getting a WISP to bite might be a challenge but could be worth investigating. Or start your own.
