I'm not sure about your total situation, but living totally off-grid here, we have a high speed internet and phone service through a company called Wi-Power. They put a parabolic dish, like sat TV, that's aimed at their dedicated cell tower about 10 miles away. We have unlimited internet access that is much faster than our DSL in L.A., a land line-like phone, plus our own wifi hotspot.

Our DISH TV and Verizon DSL/phone bills, combined, were more than twice what we are paying for this service . I'm not sure if they serve your area, but there are companies like this popping up to serve those of us that live in more rural areas.
