Radio frequency. Although you are a newbie, it is not that much of a 
reach for you to see how long a link you can create between wifi 
devices, and then experiment with antennas, and then try to make 
versions that are permanently mounted and provide permanent networking 
facilities.

Probably won't happen this time.

Regarding your questions, I've heard no evidence that there is a network 
at all.

The problem with sharing your DSL is that DSL providers are capping 
monthly bandwidth. ATT an Comcast already do. If you are lucky enough to 
be closer to the telephone company office than I am you might be able to 
get another DSL provider at a reasonable speed.
