No rural fibre where we are, but we're not that rural, and we're on the fibre rollout for 2022.  So not all hope lost, but also means it's unlikely one of the local providers would want to invest in a rural wireless solution (we have line of sight to a school with fibre about 400m away by air, about 4km by road, therefore logically opportunity for a point to point wireless solution.  But if I was a provider I wouldn't invest in that if fibre's coming in 2 years.)

Our connectivity is adequate via 4G at present, and if I got a yagi would be better.  The main issue is the 200GB data cap, which pretty much makes any significant use of netflix or other video streaming impossible.  It's not possible to buy a higher data cap, and excess usage/data packs are $15 per 20GB, so we can easily end up paying $200 or more a month if we do much video.
