The problem:
What would you suggest I use for connectivity?


No alternative at all ? Cable or ADSL, whichever Comcast isn't. If none then
presumably the internet you already have ?


ADSL is unavailable in much of the country, including many places that
aren't nearly as isolated as one might think.


Tssk. But then the UK has the advantage of being a smaller place. And telecoms
(including internet service) is highly deregulated.

For example I have 2 physical phone lines. One can provide ADSL, the other has
cable attached. If I felt the need to combine the two (and this can be done) I
could be essentially 'fault tolerant' and obtain speeds in in the 40 Mbps region.
