Short Explanation
The only path off the cabin is a dish aimed at the sky. You call that satellite. A phone-line service, a glass strand, and the network inside one room do not describe that dish.
Full Explanation
Satellite internet uses a dish to reach a satellite, which fits a cabin with no telephone line and no cable plant. DSL needs telephone wiring. A dish is not a substitute name for DSL. Fiber is a glass strand. It is not a radio path from a roof dish. A local area network is the network inside the cabin. The dish is the path beyond that LAN, not the LAN itself. Exam caveat: satellite links often add noticeable delay. The connection type is still satellite when the application is sensitive to that delay. Operational check: confirm the dish is the modem's only WAN path and that the cabin router receives an address through it. Confirm the router receives an address only through the dish. Note the extra delay if a voice application complains. The path is still satellite. Write the result on the ticket before you close it.
