Unless you live in Scotland, bournemouth or are willing to pay (through the nose) for satellite broadband, then your only options are the mobile broadband tarrifs offered by the various mobile phone cos.

Of course, these are only available if you can get a good 3g connection with the company in question.

Re: Cable

Then your choice is either Satellite broadband (probably very expensive) or virgin media

Actually Small World Media are only operating in Ayrshire and parts of Inverclyde, AFAIK. Scotland is a rather bigger place than that.
