I live in a rural location, east of Edmonton. There is no cable service available. We obtained internet service from Hughes Broadband, via satellite.
The speed was not great but we had no other options and it was several million times better than dial up. One feature we did like, was that the download bytes were not counted toward your total between 1 AM and 6 AM. (good time to update programs) We are a house of night owls so this worked quite well for us.
The service was provided to us in our sticks and bricks home, so the dish was installed on the roof. In your case, you may have to learn how to set up the dish when you move or have Hughes send out an installer every time you move.
Two years ago another internet provider set up a tower on a hill about 500 meters north of us. Due to the proximity of the tower, our reception now is almost as good as cable.
Depending where you will be located, there may be some local internet providers in the area you will be staying. Check out mcsnet.ca
Hope this helps in some way.
