Two thoughts off the top of my head, got AC power to the garage from the
house? Looked into powerline networking? (netgear has off the shelf plug in
units,
http://www.netgear.com/Products/Powe...tAdapters.aspx ,
under $100 at staples/best buy), is the phone wire 2 or 4 conductor? If 4
(typical for phone cable, voice only uses 2 wires anyway), look into the 2
wire 2 base T networking (using the extra wires in the phone cable) (a bit
of errors will occur with phone wire, but most cable and dsl is way way way
slower than base t or powerline anyway, and the max speed will be the
slowest component - ie will never go faster than your connection anyway).
Why do I say cable OR dsl? There are many many speeds in both (IE DSL is
784k,1 Mb, 2Mb, etc) cable internet is usually 5-7 Mb, Even FIOS is only
about 20 Mb, all way slower than the above options
