General consensus from people I've talked to with it is.. exactly what you'd expect, really. The bandwidth is ok, but the latency is rear end and the cost absurd.

Yeah, if this option is available to you it definitely seems like it's the way to go.

A slightly more refined solution is available in some places, where instead of making a friend and piggybacking off their wifi, it's an ISP with a dish on a tower on a hill and you pay them for service and equipment setup. Googling for 'fixed wireless' should turn up some information.
