Maybe you could get a cellular repeater and improve that particular situation. Since you at least have some reception.
It's good enough for my father and one of my cousins from Hawai'i who recently moved out there. Not good enough for me. I'm not yet ready to trust mobile broadband for my needs. Hence not living out there. It's mostly a handy example to explain why some in the US only have access to low speed broadband or none at all, outside of satellite internet. Unfortunately for them, it's only available as part of a mobile phone plan as Verizon's high speed wireless broadband service is unavailable there. I believe we're limited to 4g out there. I think they finally upgraded that area to 4g from 3g last year.
It basically boils down to a cost versus returns issue for any company looking to provide service. Is there enough customers to offset the cost of running internet out 10's or 100's of miles to a small community (10's or 100's) with maybe single digit households willing to pay for internet as well as the regular maintenance and support that service would require for any hardware infrastructure required. Any potential upgrade to the service (speed or otherwise) would depend entirely on whether or not the company has recouped the cost of bringing internet out to that area and whether there were sufficient subscribers to warrant the expenditure.
And if it's just to a lone household, no internet company is going to want to do that unless the household is willing to bear the cost of bringing the internet out there as well as paying for the any technicians to come out for a service outage (usually part of an insurance fee or additional service contract) or regular maintenance. Upgrades that require changes to hardware would be entirely on the home owner as well in that case.
That's where something like Elon Musk's Starlink could be a godsend as it's incredibly cheap compared to anything of a similar speed (other satellite service providers aren't nearly as good or fast). It actually brings relatively cheap broadband to any household as long as they can power the equipment and are within an area the satellites cover.

We have high wind conditions depending on the time of year. High enough that they can blow over trees if the trees aren't healthy. We'd obviously be able to dig our own trenches for a conduit but once it gets to a public road, it's a bit of a windy path from there as outside of the public roads most of the land around that area is privately owned or federally managed forests where our government prevents access to any sort of development (like infrastructure) outside of some corridors for high power electric transmission cables.
It's not just connection and latency speeds but data caps as well. Cellular and satellite, especially the latter, aren't very useful for providing a home Internet access for a family.
