Sharing broadband with another home

My Dad lives about 4-5 miles away. He is too cheap to pay for high
speed internet. Is there a way I can share my broadband connection
with him?

Basic answer: No. The distance is too great without paying a lot more for
equipment than he would for high speed.

Here is a link to an example of what you'd need to do this.

As Chris H. pointed out it is not worth it if he lives in a populated
area with broadband access available.

Please do not contact me directly or ask me to contact you directly for
assistance.

If your question is worth asking, it's worth posting.

If it’s not worth posting you should have done a search on
http://www.google.com/ http://www.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg&q= or
http://news.google.com/froogle?hl=en&tab=nf&ned=us&q= before wasting our
time.

If I sound hostile or arrogant you need to read the following before
posting a question "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" at
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html (The site I've linked
to just has this article I think people should read before posting a
technical question.)
