So, I have lots of family that live in rural areas. Rural being defined as can't see the neighbor's house + unpaved roads off of roads named with only three numbers (ie, take 765 to 321, turn left on 997, keep an eye out for the fence on the left) + no sewage + 1+hr commutes to Walmart or Dollar General. Their internet availability is satellite. They have phone lines, but are too far out for DSL. Some have cable, so they can get like 3mb for $80/mo or something. I can get edge service on my cell sometimes, but it's basically unusable. You're probably thinking more of the exurbs. Houses with like 1-5 acres of land off of a county highway or something. |

No, I'm thinking of North Dakota. We seem to have really good internet in a lot of places. The rural electric cooperatives have made real efforts at laying fiber.
