I got lucky. After two years with no signal at home I found out that Sprint had a device called Airave that works through the Internet connection.
At first, I was charged $104 for the device and $4 a month for the service, but I read on my Treo forum that some people were getting both for free. I called Sprint about it and they credited me back what I paid and it's been free ever since.
Now it's five bars at home!
I know that Verizon has a similar device, but they charge more for it. I don't know about AT&T.
You might be able to negotiate, if your providers have it, on the basis of Sprint not charging for theirs.
