Define "internet". LoRA is more like an occasional SMS service than a network connection, so I doubt you could get the average modern 100 MB website to render through it. Would be more practical to get a Starlink dish set up or a directional wifi antenna on both ends, those can do a few km on a good day.

Or just you know, use the 4G that is probably there already.

Yeah... Projects like open WiFi are probably becoming less and less useful, as everybody is carrying 4G/5G modems in their pocket.

In the end, our butts remained unscruttled.
