Check into wireless service.
I live in the sticks too and have AT&T DSL and they also offer wireless. See if they do in your neck of the woods.
Also, www.dslreports.com is a good place to plug in your zip code and see what is available in your area and get customer’s reviews on the providers. I have used it a lot!
There are even provider techs on the site one can email and get help from.
Good luck,
