If DSL is available in your location you could use that. Contact the landline phone company that serves your location.

Or use a satellite internet provider that requires a satellite dish so the hardware is a more expensive and the service is usually not as good as DSL or cable. Search "satellite internet provider".

If AT&T has Uverse in your location that is another kind of DSL known as VDSL2. It can provide TV, internet and VOIP phone service.

WiMax is a totally wireless service but as far as I know it has very limited coverage so may not be in your area.

The local landline service will probably work with your router but I'm not sure about the others.

The router is only a vehicle that usually follows a modem.. You need an isp which is aka internet service Provider. There are providers out there that only offer internet service.

You can search for Satellite providers or another cable based service. There's also fiber in many areas. Talk to your current cable provider. You may be able to drop your cable and only receive internet. Bundles are usually cheaper than a la carte.

if there is no limit on homw many gigabytes you can download in lte, it works well, but depends alot in the signal strength and in how many users are on where you live, if lots of users, expect speeds under 3 megbits per second or less

strong, well deployed networks makes this solution good or bad
