Check out Verizon or AT&T fixed wireless; it's basically a LTE router with a large antenna on the outside of the house.

Thanks! I didn't know about these services, but I just checked, and AT&T doesn't provide service here, and I couldn't find anything about Verizon offering service (or not) in my area. I may just walk into a store and ask.

If you can't get official fixed wireless, you can also install your own LTE router with an external antenna (assuming you have any bars at that location to begin with).
