Man you are out in the sicks like I am. Here is what we do... If you have good phone service. We buy prepaid phone plans with unlimited data. Then hot spot off our phones as a modem/router. Most will let you hot spot three devices at a time to each phone. So my wife hot spots the TV on hers, and I hot spot both of our computers.

But this is the only way we can get internet here... There just is no other option.

The first Federal stimulus money also authorized Rural Fiber connections. The guy that installed my fiber complained he could not get it because where he lived, Kamuela was too Urban. Look up zip code 96743 and tell me that is urban.
They still have hitching posts at the Ace hardware store.
I have a good fiber connection and installed my own WAN system for my property. Cell service is no good here and regular phone was very unreliable. it goes out every time it rains hard. Guess what happens regularly in Hawaii wet side? Satellite had same problem.
Happy with fiber. I’d call it FTC but we don’t have curbs or sidewalks.
