SWMBO's mum and brother are moving into a place in the sticks.  They're in
a tiny town with no broadband.  What are their options to get broadband?
The only things I can think of are...

multiplexed modems - not worth it
ISDN - expensive and still quite slow
wireless connection to someoen with cable/ADSL - too far
Satellite
Leased line - can you get these in remote villages?

Are there any other options for faster-than-modem connections?  They may
club together with neighbours for a more expensive option (such as leased
lines).  Any ideas?
