Trying to find options for internet that are not Starlink
We're a few miles from the city and have tried several options for internet. We've had 20 Mbps DSL for 10 years, and 10 Mbps before that. We've tried T-Mobile 5G, and it was absolutely horrible. Tried AT&T and got great speeds for 10 days until it tanked horribly and started getting over 20% packet loss. Haven't even bothered considering HughesNet or Viasat. I've called every single ISP in the area and they've all either told me "just move" or "just get Starlink." They refuse to do any work near my house because the lines are more than 1500 feet away. Starlink is too expensive for what I can get, and I'm worried about the reliability. Not only that, but CGNAT sounds annoying especially when I port forward quite a bit. Any help is warranted, I just want usable internet for once.
I'm in rural East Texas.
