how to get high speed internet?
JackTucky:
I can get like 112K on my sprint cell phone. I don't think they charge extra for those minutes.
I use it ALL the time. I go to get my car repaired, I sit there and work while they do it.
Be a nerd at the airport. Anywhere.

SteveJ34:
I have one guy that works for me that lives in rural area south of the Dallas/Ft Worth area.
The last few miles of his connection is wireless with a dish on the top of a pole next to his house which in turn links up to access point sitting on top of the water tower in what is downtown Glenrose. The install was about $200-300 with monthly access fee around $50 with connection speeds equatable to DSL or cable. He's been operating this way for a couple of years without issue.
We also setup a wireless link to his fathers house on the same acreage/property by mod'ing a couple of linksys access points with bigger dish attenna's so he could share the connection.
I also am involved in a project for a company which is focused on wireless in certain rural geographies that perhaps may be offering service in your neck of the woods.
What's your zipcode?
Stingray:
I'm in the same boat. I live way out in the boonies, no high speed available as far as I know, other than Direcway which is way too expensive. My zip code is 74066, I'd love for someone to prove me wrong.

shmokes:
I just got had a 3Mb/sec cable hooked up yesterday :P
I'll only pay about $10-$15 a month for it cos I'm sharing it with my neighbors and I got a killer deal for switching from satellite to cable.
Sorry about your situation, though. ;)
