Check SpaceX.com to see if they offer Starlink service. $500 down for equipment, $100/mo for 20-150Mbps down, 5-10Mbps up, short latency (20-40ms). My daughter and son-in-law have Starlink on their farm in rural Nova Scotia (north of Halifax). Much better reliability and throughput compared with DSL (1-5Mbps down, 0.5Mbps up, latency 40-100ms) that was their only prior option.
Yes, I've read about it and feel it may be my only option if I get too rural.
Compared to any other option for "too rural" areas, Starlink is a freakin' DREAM... The rollout of service is excruciatingly slow right now, but will improve. The service itself is outstanding.
