Anyone tried a point-to-point internet connection?

Has anyone attempted to build a point-to-point internet connection, to access an internet connection from a distance further than Wifi, or other solutions, can provide? I am in dire need of a better solution that I currently have, as I am tired of paying Verizon Wireless over $1,000 a month(usually much more; Verizon Wireless is the only options out here, other than satellite, which is worse). I have some ideas, but they haven't been a raging success yet.
My current plan is to use two bladeRFs(one on each end), four directional antennas(two for each bladeRF, one RX and one TX), and two laptops to serve as routers, though they will be replaced with single-board solutions once I have the wireless functions working. From the distance that I attempting this, I expect I will need an amplifier, but I have no clue as to what I will select. That is the next consideration that I will figure out. I may end up going with a 2x2 MIMO setup on each end, though I haven't decided.
All concerns about spectrum licensing and restrictions have already been solved. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
