Is this on a laptop or desktop..?

If this fixed wireless is the same as cell phone, you could just try a laptop connect card...I'd go for the cheapest option, because you're not going to get decent broadband speeds from any service, satellite or other, if you are in the sticks...

I was in the sticks for the longest, did the satellite thing and hated it, but it was better than dial up...I imagine that they could have improved the service since then, so in essence, you could pay $70 for wi-fi or a laptop connect card, and get better results on satellite for a little more cash...

OR

If you have cell with a data plan that gets good service in your area, tether it to whatever you have and get net that way...
