Good bandwidth requires clear line of sight. (You can get ~2Mbps through tree cover at 900Mhz). A lot of rural areas, at least in America, also have local ISPs

Good bandwidth requires clear line of sight. (You can get ~2Mbps through tree cover at 900Mhz). A lot of rural areas, at least in America, also have local ISPs providing service this way. You can also make own wireless link ~5 miles with gear from Ubiquiti or the like. It works basically like 802.11 WiFi but projected in one direction, and some protocol details are different. My ISP is in Nevada County, CA http://www.smarterbroadband.com/ http://www.smarterbroadband.com/ San Francisco has a cool ISP doing this in the city: https://www.monkeybrains.net/ https://www.monkeybrains.net/
