David, Starlink is in the process of launching low earth orbit satellites to provide high-speed internet to rural areas. They will likely start beta testing later this year and go commercial next year. It will be fast and affordable (likely under $100/mo) and hopefully free of monthly data caps. I'm currently on satellite internet that has a 50GB/month data cap with slow response (ping time over 600ms) and expensive.

Also, you can use Microsoft Paint (stardard with MS Windows) to reduce the file size of pictures which makes it much faster to upload and still retain decent oniline viewing quality. I used Paint to reduce this picture of the barrel (subject of this post) by 25% and it reduced the file size from 3.5 megabytes to 330kilobyites (almost 10 times smaller).
