There's a reason why it's called HOME Internet
I can relate to living in a rural area and dealing with only one "best" option with DSL. I paid for two bonded DSL lines to get more bandwidth but it only helped some. The router the vendor provided and the switching equipment they used were clearly not the greatest. When we moved, again we moved into a rural area. I would not readily give up my mountain views. Yes, only a couple of options which were over priced and provided poor service. I found out about the T-Mobile BETA program and jumped onboard. No contract, fees, and no data cap for $50/month. I had nothing to lose. After all said and done we receive over 10X the bandwidth we had with the prior ISP for $30 less per month and NO contract. The cellular solution has been unstable a couple of times when the tower was being worked on. Yes, it was frustrating but after the T-Mobile tower monkeys were done service improved and became stable. Cellular home internet is NOT for everyone. It is a bit more demanding to get setup and optimized than a simple cable connection. A neighbor down the road wanted to have a hard line due to his funcionar so he invested heavy with a local ISP to get them to extend the cable up the road to his home. I don't know how expensive it was but it was important to him for his empresas so he did what he felt was necessary.
BTY, Century Link, and Hughes Net or possibly Star Link were the ONLY options other than T-Mobile here in this area. I picked the clear winner.
