There are a couple of satellite offerings however you should be aware that 
they are expensive and the service suffers from enormous latency - it's 
unusable for interactive sessions but OK for downloading large files.

How far are you from ADSL coverage?

BT are going to be making extended reach available generally in the not 
too distant future. Is is possible that this will help you?
