high speed internet help

I live on a farm in new jersey and i'm trying to get high speed internet but i'm not quite sure how to do it. DSL isn't provided in my area and i can't use cable because my house is a quarter mile away from the road and the cable was never run to our house. I've done alot of research and i've been told that satelite internet isn't worth getting because its so expensive and doesn't work well. I thought about running a coax cable to my house for cable but found out that i'd need amplifiers and all kinds of junk thats over my head. The people i've talked said that a point to point wireless 802.11g router was the way to go. So the router and antenna would be in a box at the end of my driveway where the cable wire is and it would send the internet to my house. The guy at best buy told me that the netgear super g router with a long distance antenna would have no problem going 1500 feet. The only problem is that theres no transformer untill my house so theres no way to power the router with 120 ac where the box would need to be. Both my parents do alot of work from home and we're willing to do just about anything to get high speed internet. Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks
