    I've met a couple who work from home using that so is a viable option.

    Or move house.

    There are lots of reports that internet connectivity is what people check first so you may have to sell to mature technically illiterate folk.

    Got a quote here in Leeds for FTTP 100mB/s synchronous uncontended, £3500 setup fee waved, £260 a month, plus VAT.

    Satellite? (can be iffy, can be expensive)
    Microwave? (longer range than wifi, can be very expensive, but if there are several buildings involved, you could set up a neighbourhood one)

    Move?

    Long wire to a friend's house?

    (Actually there are people that have used WiFi to do this).
