I live on the most populous hilltop in Hyden KY. Our only ISP caps at 1mb, and its not terribly reliable. Satellite is of course an option, but the expense is prohibitive if you use a lot of data.

Wow, that just sucks. North Dakota has pretty good rural broadband on the whole. I get the feeling its because we seem to have multiple providers everywhere and the rural electric cooperatives and local telephone companies have stepped up with some serious fiber.

Technically, you should have benefited from some of the legislation passed, but after looking at it, it was pretty impossible to access.

Oh wow, maybe since Mississippi is fairly flat, it is just easier to set up decent infrastructure here.
DSL is what's available. Wireless is too susceptible to the terrain.
DSL or wireless?
