I had a relative who was an 'early adaptor". 

Could you plug him into foreign power sockets?

Thanks @littleboo. Unfortunately the router is in the kitchen which is a long way away so it isn't possible.

How far? Its the simplest solution, I've run a cable through the the loft, you could run it outside or move the router closer to his room.

How much is a third line per year and how many years will you have to pay for it? How does that compare to the cost of a good quality cable?

We are 'rural' and got fed up with 3Mbps ADSL and no fibre availability so we went with a WISP https://www.airband.co.uk/

That could be a good option and there will be others outside that companies areas, certainly cheaper than 3 lines. Tiree has had similar for years but doesn't appear on maps on my quick area availability search. There also seems to be a lot of new companies offering this so I'd expect coverage to increase quite quickly.
