Older modems used telephone lines, sometimes they also used dedicated lines from one location to another (ie: from a college in Chicago to one in Detroit), but in theory if you got along with your neighbors, you could set up an intranet that way. You need to do some research on the tech, though.
What I'm thinking is you have an old router, so you put a special custom firmware on it and set up a webserver on it and share it to your neighbors. one of them sees it, likes it, so they set up an old router and a server and spread the signal further, while also adding new content to the network.
