Up here in the northeastern Texas Piney Woods, I'm confined to either satellite or cellular internet access. (Even though they dug a trench 100 yards long across my front yard to lay fiber to the Verizon tower a half-mile down the road...)

BTW, Have you considered a modest antenna mast to bypass your line-of-sight problem? ( As flat as the Coastal Plain is, you probably wouldn't need more than a telescoping TV antenna mast...)

Good Luck -- and Happy New Year -- from the Piney Woods!!!

I would have needed a 40’ mast to get over the neighboring tree line. Seriously. The trees are a good 25-30’ tall.

The company (Skynet WISP, funny enough), tried to put a mast on the roof of my house, but just said they didn’t have enough clearance.

Sadly enough, there’s a POA rulebook, and I’d have to check it to see how tall I can put up without having to get approval/permission.

Verizon just started 5G roll out in Houston (not that it will EVER get to the boonies where I live), but it’s worth waiting for if it does.
