I want to hook up to my brother's internet- his house is 750-800 feet from my house. he has comcast cable- comcast wants to charge me $2400 to get cable to my house-(this is nj) my bro doesnt mind if i hook into his- we'll split his bill. good for me, good for him-anyway, how can i do it? is this distance too far for cat6? smart dudes please help
 
Here is another unconventional option:

15 years ago I needed to hook up two buildings which were about 650 feet apart, and there was no budget to use wireless or fiber. I purchased a good quality CAT 5e cable, and connected them up. The connection was flaky at the default 100 Mbps full-duplex, so I manually set one network card to 10 Mbps half duplex. It worked reliably for over 10 years.
