Re: high speed internet help
If you do decide to go the wireless route, I'd go with 802.11b since it'll be much cheaper, assuming you're not going to get much more than 3mbit from your ISP, it'd be over-kill to use a 54mbit wireless connection. Like someone said, use a directional antenna to get good reception.. there are actually instructions to build them online out of things like old satellite dishes or PVC pipes. Using ebay and some parts-scrounging, you could probably pull this off for $30-$40.
