Lynda uses some type of microwave internet, a line-of-sight thing. You are in a valley, Is there any place around your valley that some
type of repeater could be put on the ridge? This line of thought gets you turned into an ISP company for the valley.... There are other line-of-sight options which are tough in a valley.
In Minnesota (7 years ago) the telephone co-op ran fiber optics to all it's customers, out here PUD3 is running fiber optics but is not
going everywhere, just to selected areas. The local phone company just started offering DSL at our place and then there is Comcast who
does everything out here through a coax cable.
I'd ask at the local utilities to see if anything is on the horizon or even being talked about (political promises for the us little people are a very long shots). See what folks have to say about satellite comms (warnings, limitations and things to look for) then I'd call the satellite companies.
You have made the decision, that's often the hard part.
