We don’t have fiber in our parish although I can pee on the fiber my neighbor in another parish has from the east side of our property. We don’t have cable access.
We have used HughesNet and Viasat. Viasat was the better of the two. It allowed us to stream although we experienced a lot of buffering.
Then we got Starlink in June 2022. In that time we have buffered less than 10 times. This is while streaming on 2-3 TVs and gaming on an Xbox simultaneously.
Although many people have much better options, it is the only workable one for us as we also sit in a gap between coverages of cellular internet options.
It was a game changer for us.

Man if I were you I'd become buddies with said neighbor, and go halvsies on the internet. You'd need some extra equipment to get from their spot to yours (depending on distance either a long cat6, fiber or a point to point ap). I'd also segment your two networks, but if all thats mumbo jumbo to you, find an IT company and get them to quote you out equipment and an hour or two of work and its probably only a couple hundred bucks and you'll be made in the shade. Thats just me though.
