Hello.
I going renting a house that doesn't have a telephone line anymore. I don't want to get one either. But I have rang eircom and they saw that tge local exchange won't support broadband.
Sometime the recption in the house isn't great either and the 3G coverage is intermittent.

What are my options? Satellite?

Can anyone advice

Satellite is awful as a broadband substitute due to the high pings.

I'd check out FWA (Fixed wireless) providers in your area.

Excuse my ignorance, but is that like a 3G modem thing?

It's a high speed fixed wireless service to a providers mast they will usually install a small antenna outside if you can get the service.

Much faster and reliable compared to a 3G mobile technology.

Find if there are any WISPS in your area.
