Dish Offers "4G" type Sat Service. You won't get Cable 25-100 Mbps speed, but you definitely can get 2-5Mbps for under $99/mth.
I setup some remote monitoring systems and opted for this type of service instead of cellular. At the time it was 500Kbps. And that was plenty fast enough for what we needed.
I would love to do a Tiny House in the 119 sq feet region. Heat would be wood stove/propane. Battery Bank built under the house. Enough Solar and Wind to charge the batteries and run electricity. Very efficient 9000BTU A/C. Toilet on one side, shower closet on the other. Septic tank. Open downstairs with seating for 2, and a small Flat-screen. Maybe a laptop. Water well run off the battery system. And a small generator (8KW) as backup power. "Bedroom" would be a loft over everything. I would "seal" it with spay foam insulation and get at least 8" of wall insulation. I expect it will be cozy.
All of the above is doable for $50K, not including the land. And maybe with land west of here which is under $10K/acre for a good area.
And I would probably enjoy the ensuing divorce...
