It's hard to provide solid answers as I don't know where this cabin is, but: High-speed? Probably not.
But, in most cases, your options are satellite or wireless point-to-point links off of nearby hills, which are quite expensive.
Wireless p2p links (WISP) generally need line of sight and don't handle trees in the way (especially when said trees are covered in rain or ice.
Satellite requires LOS to the south sky if you're in the US.
Fiber to your cabin would be more money than you had. (If you had such money, you wouldn't be asking about it on HN)
- danpat 12y agoIt'll be high-alpine Colorado somewhere, so lots of hills in the way, lots of snow in the winter (snowmobile access only), well water and solar/generator power. I figured anything wired would be out, as we're looking at at least 10 miles from the nearest major road. I already do pretty well with low bandwidth (thank-you DVCS and virtualization), but telemedicine might be out for the missus.
