Even though I hate Starlink, it would be an option.
What I would do however is try and ask my neighbors. If neighbors don't work, I'd just hack their Wifi.
Another option would be to contact other ISPs and tell them your neighborhood/village/city is ready for an alternative. It'll depend on many factors whether or not this would be successful, but I have seen it happen in the past. Just takes a few different households to contact them and they'll start doing market research.
Getting somebody with a different last name to try and get a new contract would be possible too. But it could be considered fraud.
