    Satelite is about your only option. Unless cable or BT move into your area

    not really looked into satalite myself best place to ask is panda's satelite forum they will know lots more about it. I know its only one way though so you get fast downloads but your stuck with a modem for uploads. ISDN is also an option dual ISDN is pretty fast

    Too late - I'm already here

    I had a three day trial on satnode (See Here ). OK for file downloads, but I found it to be slow for browsing and real slow for email & newsgroups.

    Others have good things to say for IPVIAsat.

    Most (all ?) of these systems impose a download limit per month which really sucks.

    Have a look back through a couple of pages on this section. I asked a bit about it a couple of times in the past and got some good answers (
    One here )

    You'll need a dish (Duh !) and a digital satellite card (I've got one spare if your interested ).

    Dual option isdn only 128 k but you pay for both phone calls I.e both 64k channels so not very fast compared 512k broadband (adsl)

    Wireless from www.tele2.co.uk is available in some cities but I'm sure that DSL and cable has a better coverage so if you could get wireless from tele2 I'm sure you could also get wired broadband. Not sure about how good their service is as don't subscribe to them (I'm a Blueyonder customer myself).
