Worth looking at Mifi data over 3G ...

3G wozzat? No there is a 3G signal here if you stand bya window
upstairs on the right side of the house.

That could be in the right place but getting a suitable data tariff
might be tricky, light month this month only 51.2 GB download. Also a
static, public, IPv4 address and availabilty of IPv6.

The FTTrN experiments have gone awfully quiet (ISTR uneconomic).

They would only put them on existing fibre routes and then only at
"fibre nodes" (joins). FTTrN is (was?) one of my straws as the new
fibre route to the village was reputed to have a fibre node 200 m
away in the upstream direction.
