I have considered living off-grid out in the "middle of no where" for some time.
One of the things that has always held me back is access to decent internet. Has anyone found a way around this or has set up any major "wireless tower" to get internet from another distant location?

- DoreenMichele 8y agoFrom what I have read, it is kind of a "movement" to develop co-ops or other DIY rural internet. It is being compared to the movement to electrify farms about a hundred years ago in the US. So it's not hard to find stuff on the subject, for example: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2689496/Remote-villages-DIY-broadband-Frustrated-residents-dig-trenches-lay-new-cables-BT-refuse-cost.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2689496/Remote-vill... https://offgridsurvival.com/offgridinternet/ https://offgridsurvival.com/offgridinternet/
