Maybe Starlink is another option. It has some drawbacks like reduced performance during heavy rain, but I've seen some positive reviews as well.

Starlink doesn’t have capacity for a large urban area. There’s only so many satellites available per square mile, and if you have a sizable fraction of a major city using starlink, they’d all be bottlenecked on a handful of satellites at best, even with the huge number of satellites. Starlink only makes sense for low-geographic-density deployments, where the number of customers on the same satellite is (relatively) low.
