So one follow up question: if I do purchase a Verizon mifi product like the jetpack, is there hardware to increase the signal and keep it from dropping out?
There can be hardware that helps with that, but nothing is great.

@scottalanmiller silver lake Rd and I do in fact know a few people from here, Jenny Case would be my sister in-law and Abby Case is my wife
Do you have line of sight to anywhere? Any other farms or houses?

@scottalanmiller I do, but am not sure what they use.

Contact them. ask to have service put in there and then use a point to point wireless link from someone like Ubiquiti.

It's a friendly area, your wife probably even knows whoever they are. Just stop by, knock on the door, likely someone has something you could use. Be creative. Everyone knows how much it sucks out there without Internet. Split their Internet costs with them, put up your wireless, likely they will be thrilled with the idea.

Is there no legal issues to worry about here?

What issues could there be? He's be going to the house owner, and their ISP asking for this setup to occur.

Why would their be? You are obviously inferring something that was not stated.

Or he might just go to the house owner and ask if he can pay half of their bill a month and install some equipment.

That is illegal. THe ToS specifically states that you cannot sublet.
-
But there is nothing illegal about you paying for your own service to be installed at the address you specify.

Isn’t that what Scott just suggest?

So read Scott’s comment to mean split the internet costs with the ISP? Not the home owner?

Don't speculate! Have you read every ToS from every ISP everywhere?!

Go find me a single one that does not have it? Every one i have read forbids it.

Imagine that one though. They come to you and say "you're stealing internet" and you say I asked you to sell it to me and you said you couldn't afford to do it. Have you changed your mind?

That is not legal. I cannot believe you ever suggested it.

I'm trolling you of course, but in any case the internet would need to be on someone else's property. Hence he'd "go to his neighbors" and see if they are cool with the ISP putting some hardware up.
