Have you contacted your ISP to check if they can upgrade the gear? It’s likely both ends need work and it could impact other users too. Also, ask about any alignment problems or other suggestions they have.
They have plans to refresh their tower in seven years, which is why I'm searching for a solution.
If you have solid 4G LTE service nearby, consider using that connection. For example, Ubifi+MoFi with a good Yagi antenna can deliver speeds around 50 Mbps or higher, depending on your location.
Never assume they’ll show up. 4G LTE is likely your top choice soon, while 5G will arrive eventually. Consider checking a WISP, since one might be nearby. Other options are slow DSL in certain areas, satellite with high latency, and sometimes usage limits or monthly caps.
The alternative choice, though still several years away, will join a range of low-altitude satellite offerings such as SpaceX Starlink, OneWeb, TeleSat, and Amazon’s Project Kuiper. Unlike traditional satellite internet, these new systems use regular satellites positioned in lower orbits, allowing them to move swiftly across the sky. This results in much faster connections—latencies under 50ms compared to the usual ~500ms of geostationary satellites.
