Internet for /out/ locations?

Ask the realtor or drive around and look for some signs for internet. There is one in the San Antonio area thats called bluesky or something like that. It works fairly well.

I found that there are around 6 providers that serve the area I am looking at but I don't know how well they function. Like will i be able to watch netflix or will we have to take turns going on the net?

I can go out in the middle of national forests and still get (spotty) 4g coverage.

how remote is your little 10 acre plot?

My mom uses it at her place and it works for watching amazon prime moves and youtube. Other than that I can't say.

Wireless ISP's are fine. The radios are solid, reliable, and fast. Not much more latency than you get with residential cable/dsl.
50mbit links even with cheap gear is easy to do (10-20 miles LoS). If you really need capacity, backhaul radios are capable of gigabit+ speeds over 50 miles (at over $1k/link though).

As distance increases, path loss increases, speeds go down. I've shot close to 50 miles with a cheap (~$250 for radio+dish on each side, mountain-top to mountain-top) link and been able to pull 25mbit over it.

WISPs will generally rent you the equipment (radio + POE injector + dish), and get you ethernet in the location, taking care of the link, install, and alignment.

Satellite is still terrible. Good for basic web browsing/email, terrible for anything that requires low latency (chat, VoIP, don't even think about gaming on it). Slow and highly variable.

4G/LTE is doable, but expensive, especially if you're streaming video. Sometimes I'll install cellular gateways on a site so I'll still have a fallback if microwave/VPN/cable/whatever other WAN connection I have goes out on the site.... but all i'm doing with that is configuring radios and power/security equipment.
