Right so am moving to a rural property next week that I can't get an internet provider to cover . What is my best and cheapest way to get internet access Wi-Fi for fire stick/lap top etc. I am a technophobe so all help gratefully received.

If you can get good 5g mobile data coverage then you can use your phone to create a WiFi hot spot and connect your lappy.

5g option mentioned previously would be the first option.

After that the best way would be a starlink connection. Expensive but by far the most reliable.

I have a good friend who lives on a secluded farm - he has had loads of issues in the past getting a solid connection to broadband or ISDL... moved to starlink a few years ago and never looked back. Also pretty much a standard in the maritime and aviation industries now by all accounts

third world sh*thole.
