Spacenet has VOIP service, but not inexpensive.

Competition (Competitive Local Exchange Carriers) is encouraged but if you live far enough away from civilization, it is likely that nobody is interested.

Lack of options is one of the frequently unanticipated costs of living way out in East Jesus.

Don't forget if you can get cell service in your location you could go with a cell air card. I had Verizon, and was pleased with the service other than the fact I kept going over the 5gig monthly cap (I like to download a lot of video, and my wife is now a stay at home mom who surfs the internet allot). If you have a Blackberry smart phone there is an APP that will allow you to tether your phone you your computer, and use off your phones data plan which is unlimited (with most carriers), but I have never tried it so I can't say how fast that set up would be.

If you could go with a WISP and they are reliable then you can get VOIP through them such as Vonage or Magic Jack.
