If you have access too it I would just use a cell phone with a hotspot. Then you are on another network.  

A much more complicated way is to do some routing tricks with a hi end router or PFSense.  

The best option is to ask the community to get someone to connect.  You can almost always get someone on MRC to do it 24-7.  

Whats the BBS I'll come try it out for ya.
