Verizon also has air cards like Sprint does and usually at least for cell phone coverage they are better than Sprint in rural areas. Other than that you may be SOL. The satelite carriers I hear have terrible upload speeds and some of our remote people at work use it because that is all they can get and I can tell you just trying to do remote assistance over it, its just as bad as dialup from that standpoint.
