This does not consider wireless options, which for some are the only choice. My parents live in a rural area and cannot access the Internet through either of the options you mentioned. (Excluding dial up, which for obvious reasons, is not really an option.) They have tried various satellite and fixed wireless options and finally settled on 4G service from one of the national telecoms. (This was unfortunately after erecting a 40ft tower that now serves no purpose.)
