A 18-24" 2.4Ghz grid dish (available for less than $70-90) with 18-21 dB gain will associate at 11 Mb/s with consumer-grade APs with diversity antennas at 2-3 miles.
Yes; for naif readers note that the "grid" means that you don't worry about wind as much as a solid dish. (The uwaves see the screen as solid, however.) With that much gain (ie directionality) wind could mess with your (albeit brief) connection. Its very important that you go *away* from your normal haunts if you use this (esp. more than once) for attention-receiving activities. (Any mailbomber would know this.) And best to piggyback on a commercial AP, unless you dislike the individuals you are implicating... Apologies for the pedanticism to regular opsec-clued readers.
