I'm no expert in this, but aren't terrestrial wireless setups (microwave relays, etc) out of reach financially for the average family?

  Under the hood, consumer fixed wireless is usually just wifi gear, but running on licensed frequencies and attached to big outdoor antennas. If you're very, very lucky, the hardware might have been manufactured to run optimally on those frequencies, or it might just be a WAP in a different box running tweaked software. This has the generally-crappy results you would expect. Business gear is substantially more robust and expensive.
