One-off mobile broadband isn't cheap, but it's a good solution. I'm using Orange mobile broadband, and I get decent reception most places, and no more outages than I got with BT. IIRC, you can check on the websites (or have the shops check for you) whether you are going to get good reception where you most want to be, in your case presumably your parents' house.
