Moving

I am in a delema. In the next couple of months we will be moving into a new house in an area with no DSL or Cable service and from the reviews I am unwilling to purchase broadband over sat. The one plus and possible solution to my networking woes is that the cell service is good outside of the house. Now on to the question. Could I install a repeater for the house to boost the signal in and network an EDGE signal from an equipped laptop for the rest of the house. I know that it still will not be fast but it will beat dialup. We already have the service and data plans on my 8125 and my wife's Iphone and it works flawlessly as a tethered connection from phone to laptop, but could I get an aircard for my laptop and bridge that connection onto a home network and run my pc too?
