Open Question: Can't receive internet, but live near town, and the airport, why? Help Needed, Urgent.?

We purchased the HughesNet Internet service, and it is probably the biggest rip off of the century. We pay substantially more than DSL, about 60$ a month, for below 1.5 MBPS, I have a ping of about 900 on this connection, according to a speed test. A 40MB download takes 30 minutes to complete. But also I game often. I live near town and the international Airport, They have internet, I receive internet on my phone and I have practically full bars at times. But I live in a sort of, valley, or pit. Houses just above me out of the valley receive internet. How can I get into this internet? Perhaps an Antenna? I also have DSL at a family member's house and agreed that if we could somehow communicate the internet to my house we would do so, perhaps we could use antennas. Help, How can I possibly receive internet?... Read More »
