Your best bet would be to just hire a pro.

I know in my city they were going to get a city wide WIFI, but it fell through. Personally I think its silly to have wifi sent TO your house for your home internet. Parks, playgrounds, bar's,libraries, strip joints, public places etc... sure, put up hot spots, but why have a wireless signal sent to your house? I would rather it be piped in via cable or DSL..(ok, FIBER is preffered but cannot afford that atm)
That's just it: I am a pro, and rural doesn't have any sort of cable, and phone only supports at best 33.3 kbps, and no DSL. So wireless is the best way (only way for online gaming). Fibre is usually about $30/m

They use mesh networks for the networks (each AP connects to several other APs wirelessly).
