My neighbor has verizon DSL and for some unknown reason they will not sell to me, claiming I am too far away.

I live about 100 yards away through some pretty dense woods.

Can I physically wi fi that signal over here; and what would be best method and equipment?

Can my other neighbor do the same?

Is this a problem with verizon?

Thanks for your help; I am a greenhorn on such matters.

I am fairly certain if you were to read the Verison terms of service agreement that your neighbors had to accept to get DSL service that you would find they are NOT allowed to share, sell, or redistribute the service in any manner.

Now, if they were to sign up for a commercial plan, there could be allowances in the contract for sharing. Of course, this level of service costs a lot more.

The right (and legal) way to do this is to get your own broadband service.
