Hopefully it won't be too much longer before the small/cheap satellites start launching and providing internet EVERYWHERE. SpaceX just got FCC approval for the launch of over 4,000 low orbit satellites for this purpose. Google and Amazon are also in this race, so it could ultimately be the solution we are all waiting for...

SpaceX's plan is to develop a satellite constellation that offers a low-cost, high performance solution to providing fast internet access. It's called Starlink and will consist of close to 12,000 satellites eventually, spread across multiple orbits. Until now, the FCC had approved 4,425 Starlink satellites for deployment in orbits ranging from 1,110 to 1,325 kilometers...With the revised approval granted, SpaceX now has until March 29, 2024 to deploy half of the proposed 4,425 satellites. As with most ventures Elon Musk undertakes, he plans to easily beat the deadline and SpaceX apparently already has satellites ready at the launch site.
