Internet access on a farm

[[email protected]]

Hi everyone. So I am moving to a farm where the cellphone reception is very bad...EDGE at best. But I nee dto get internet for work usage.

Working on different servers and so on. Also I will have to run everything on Solar Panels as there is no electricity on the farm.

What are my options to get better internet there?

Thanks

You're only option is satellite.

Well, if there is reception, a booster antennae might help on a 3G router, but you will probably only know if that will work once you bought it and set it up.... so could be a expensive way of getting no better results than what you are currently getting...

Else go for a satellite link like ScottulusMaximus suggested

Yup - satellite is probably your only option

Visit http://wapa.org.za and find a Wireless ISP who can connect you, or help you connect yourself.

Unfortunately there are very few options open.
Boost existing mobile coverage;
The WAPA option and satellite.

The above is probably in order of cost as well with the satellite option the most costly but also if done properly the most reliable option.

BUT...

If you had a high point near the home you could offer to have a tower installed and draw free internet from that by means of pre-agreement?
