Geoff, the cellular solution works well while it's working. The problem I encounter with my system is that the link is dropped periodically and when it does the remote client software cannot be made to automatically reconnect. That means another long drive up the mountain just to click 'connect'.
Without a cabled link, the only really reliable option is satellite, and even that is not reliably reliable, if you know what I mean. And, yes, very expensive, plus with ridiculously tiny monthly data caps into the 'bargain'.
Bite the bullet and plough in that fibre optic cable!
