Having worked with a remote dev team in Romania it was actually pretty solid. Fast to services locally peered, slower to elsewhere, but still miles better than what I had in the UK at the time.

And for telecommunications, which are definitely in the "utility" category now, subsidies for the up-front capital costs are warranted IMHO, especially as it can act as an economic accelerator.

As for contemporary wifi, that's why I had my house wired for Cat 6 a few months back - I've got 3 Wifi 6 access points as well (PoE powered, ceiling mounted) and can saturate my 500/70 FTTP connection.
