I had some horrible internet issues here at the house. Although we live in an urban area, the local DSL provider gave lousy service and was getting worse week by week. Until we got a new service, I was able to get T-Mobile to setup my cell phone as a WiFi Hotspot and we had amazingly good internet service, although limited to wireless due my existing phone. We had a good data plan so the add on cost was only $30 a month.
The other option you have is satellite. It's a bit pricey but if the satellite is not too close to the horizon, you should have excellent bandwidth. The only drawback is an initial latency due to the time it takes to beam up to the satellite, back to earth, then repeat to get the data you want, as well as the time the server takes to stream out the data. Once the data stream is flowing, it should be okay. But that first latency is about a second or two. Yeah, it travels at the speed of light but that satellite is way, way out there.
For equipment, I have a Bluesound Vault2 and two Node2's. I don't use the internal DACs - I have a Wyred4Sound DAC which is absolutely amazing. It is by far the best digital sound device I have ever purchased. The Vault does a bit perfect rip of the CD's, plus handles all the internet radio, and music sources, such as Tidal, etc.
The Vault2, and now the 2i, both require a hardwire internet connection though, so if you use the phone approach, make sure that phone can take a direct internet hookup. If you opt for other equipment, make sure they will work with your wireless setup or whatever you end up with for an internet service provider. You may need to put the ISP modem in bridge mode and use a local wireless router to connect all your equipment.
Since you are building the house, personally I'd wire every room with hardwire internet connections, about as many as you have electrical outlets in the room as well as a WiFi router.
