    Some rural areas offer Satellite Internet. I don’t know if it’s phone included, but maybe! See if there are any providers in your area! GOod luck!

    You can get satellite internet just about anywhere you have a sky and aren’t too far from the equator (like on the North Slope of Alaska).

    If you have a good cellular signal there, you can get wireless broadband from the cellphone company.

    If you can get access to land that’s both line of sight to yours and near cable (or DSL), you can get a connection there and shoot it a few miles to your property by wireless (the longest haul on record is about 300 miles, but that was done to see if it could be done - I wouldn’t recommend it for daily use).

    Call the local telecom department for help.

    It really depends on where you are. For instance in a lot of areas in Nevada you can find Wireless Internet.

    So you should probably check with people in your target area and see what they are doing.

    Cellular is an option but it and Satellite will be more expensive then Wireless if it is available, also Wireless will be faster.

    Be cafeful if your dealing with a large telco, they may think DSL is available(because they are two states away) and ship you equipment only to find out a month later it’s not available.This happened to me when I tried to help a friend in Nevada.

    If you can, ask your neighbors what is working for them.
