Anyone not covered by the altnet requesting USO standard broadband are offered 4G as the only option.

The challenge there is that invariably where USO cannot be delivered, 4G is also next to non-existent.  Perverse for such locations that 3G which travels much further has been switched off.

Starlink is likely to be the only viable solution. Starlink Or Mobile Broadband - National Broadband

That does unfortunately often tend to be true. We do have EE coverage in most of our area, but I know someone that can't get that (they are behind a hill) who use a directional antenna to get a Vodafone signal from about 20 miles away. A good directional antenna can often get a usable signal from somewhere, but it can take a bit of effort and investigation to set up.
