Create your own ISP. Find someone local that has a spare phone line
and some kind of internet access, not dialup. Give them a linux
computer with a modem connected to it and also connected to the
internet. Set this up correctly and you can dial their number and get
internet access.  I used to do this about 20 years ago.
