    You can get satellite broadband. But it is very costly.

    You need a phone line for uploading, so that's no good. The only way to avoid BT *completely*, is to go with Virgin or mobile broadband.

    Satellite broadband is more expensive than you think - it is only the downlink, you still need a low-bitrate backhaul - an old modem would do this, but you still need a phone line.

    Two-way satellite BB starts at £100pm for a capped service.

    I did say it is very costly.
